The Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks meet Tuesday in NHL action at the SAP Center. The Anaheim Ducks look to rebound from a 2-6-1 start. The San Jose Sharks need a win to bounce back from a 3-8 start. 

The Anaheim Ducks are averaging 2.22 goals per game and are scoring on 7.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Trevor Zegras leads Anaheim with 6 goals, Troy Terry has 6 assists and Frank Vatrano has 28 shots on goal. Defensively, the Anaheim Ducks are allowing 4.22 goals per game and are killing 63.6 percent of their opponent’s power plays. John Gibson has given up 30 goals on 269 shots faced, and Anthony Stolarz has allowed 7 goals on 65 shots.

The San Jose Sharks are averaging 2.18 goals per game and are scoring on 15.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Erik Karlsson leads San Jose with 6 goals, Tomas Hertl has 5 assists and Timo Meier has 53 shots on goal. Defensively, the San Jose Sharks are allowing 3.09 goals per game and are killing 93.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Kaapo Kahkonen has allowed 13 goals on 104 shots faced, and James Reimer has allowed 19 goals on 221 shots.

The Ducks are 15-36 in their last 51 road games and 14-39 in their last 53 overall. The Sharks are 1-6 in their last 7 home games and 14-39 in their last 53 overall. The under is 5-1 in Ducks last 6 overall. The over is 3-0-1 in Sharks last 4 home games. The Ducks are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Jose and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams in their current form, and I certainly don’t want to lay juice with either side. With that said, the San Jose Sharks have a clear edge on the defensive side, and at least they’re at home here. That’s enough for me to lean toward the Sharks. The Anaheim Ducks are a bad 2-6-1 where the defense cant keep the puck out of the net. I’ll side with the Sharks.
