This NHL season we are waiting for a lot of exciting games in different conferences. So San Jose and Calgary will meet each other. The game of these teams will take place on December 8 at 06:30 Moscow time in the SAP Center. Our portal has also prepared its own version of the forecast for this game for you.
San Jose Sharks
The Sharks' managers did an excellent job on the mistakes in the offseason, which took the team to a new level. "San Jose" gave a good start, where several important victories were achieved. After a slight decline due to the epidemic in the team, the San Jose hockey players slowly began to regain their confidence, but in their last meetings, the Sharks again lost on the road to the Rangers and Columbus.
Calgary Flames
Many newcomers signed "lights" in all lines, significantly strengthening the depth. Ogonki got off to a tough start in the championship, but recently they managed to adjust the game and give out an impressive series of victories, surprising the entire hockey community. Now the team looks extremely confident in defense, the goalkeeper plays reliably. In the last match, the series of victories of the "lights" was interrupted by an offensive away defeat from Vegas with a score of 3:2.

Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game, because both teams are able to show bright hockey. San Jose has a less powerful squad, but will have the advantage of its own ground. Calgary looks good this season and very rarely loses, so I expect a victory from the visitors here too.
