Anaheim Ducks vs San Jose Sharks Prediction

I’m not excited to lay juice with the Anaheim Ducks, but the Sharks look like the worst team in the NHL through a handful of Games. The Sharks have done little well offensively, and their defensive effort is downright terrible. The Sharks have also lost 9 straight Games dating back to last season. The Ducks also beat the Sharks 2-0 already this season on the road. I want nothing to do with the Sharks in their current form. Give me the Ducks.
