Sharks vs Bruins Prediction 

San Jose comes into this contest after winning two of their last three games and their defense continues to improve after a rough start to the season. The Sharks are 6-4-3 at home this year, while the Bruins are 5-6-0 on the road. Boston has been very inconsistent this year and they have lost two of their last three games. The Bruins are the slightly better team when looking at the numbers, but San Jose has been solid on home ice and I like them to get the win here.
