Anaheim Ducks vs San Jose Sharks prediction
I’m not excited about playing the Anaheim Ducks, but the Sharks look like the worst team in the NHL through a few games. The Sharks haven’t done well offensively, and their defensive efforts are abysmal. The Sharks have also lost 9 straight games dating back to last season. The Ducks have also beaten the Sharks 2-0 already this season on the road. I want nothing to do with sharks in their current form. Give me the ducks.
