If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Sharks winning the underdog.
However, if you’re not as confident in the Sharks straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.
For those looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
