Team News
The Florida Panthers will likely come into this game under more pressure, as they look to claim a vital win to close in on the top eight in the Eastern Conference standings. They have picked up six wins from their previous ten, which includes back-to-back victories.
Florida returned to NHL action earlier this week with a sensational display against the Tampa Bay Lightning. On that evening, they recorded a 7-1 victory at FLA Live Arena, with Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe both scoring twice.
Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks find themselves toward the foot of the Western Conference standings. They have won three of their previous ten, with two of those victories coming in their previous two games. However, they are averaging just .413 this term.
Only the Anaheim Ducks have conceded more goals than the Sharks this term, but San Jose do come into this game after a fine 4-3 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning in their previous outing on Tuesday evening.
Picks
The Sharks win over the Lightning was a bold showing on the road. However, we will be sticking with the Panthers to pick up a comfortable victory in the NHL on Thursday evening.
