Their defensive setup needs to reshape itself for better returns given that they have been one of the poorest when it came to defending.
San Jose have struggled on offense with poor returns with less than three goals scored per game on average this season. The team is heavily dependent on Erik Karlsson, with 30 goal contributions, who will be crucial in the game this season.
They have conceded over 3.5 goals per game on average. Goaltenders have done individually well but have been on the losing side due to the poor support from the defensive line. They have to work on it to have better results in this game.
Canucks vs. Sharks Betting Prediction
This game is evenly placed given the kind of season both teams have had. Vancouver have won four in their last five games. They have a positive head-to-head record and are 4-1 in their last five meetings against San Jose.
San Jose are 4-1 in their last 5 Sunday games but has not played well in their last five home games. Their scoring rate has been poor in their last few games along with their defense, putting them in a lot of discomfort.
Vancouver are likely to win this game, given that they are scoring better and their team strength puts them ahead in the game.
