Jets/Sharks

The Jets woefully struggled against an unlikely opponent in their first game. Look for them to settle today, and play the way that is expected of them this season. It is unlikely that Hellebuyck will struggle as he did in game one. Expect a little more order in the rebuilt defensive core. With Scheifele back in the line up , look for better results in offense and on the power play.

Evander Kane is still out and the Sharks’ aging defensive stars are another year older. Goaltending should be improved, but Hill is still unproven as a #1 starter.

I like the Jets today. The Jets, in top form, are hard to play against. The Sharks, in rebuild mode, still have much to prove this season. Jets to win outright.
