In a Sunday night matchup, we ironically have a road team that’s won most their games on the road, and a home team that’s lost most of their games at home.
As the oddsmakers and bettors alike have clearly missed this trend, possibly follow it, but make sure you read on first.
San Jose Sharks
The Sharks fly to Minnesota after shocking the much better Stars in Dallas on Friday Night. Can they wrap up a perfect weekend road trip against the struggling Wild?
In the offensive zone, San Jose’s getting off just 30.2 shots per night, resulting in an unmotivating 2.8 goals on average, which rank 23rd and 26th, in the league.
To add to this, The Sharks currently have the 20th ranked powerplay, by only capitalizing on a fifth of their powerplays (20%).

Free San Jose Sharks vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Prediction
Even though Minnesota’s upset their home crowd more often than not this season, it’s hard to pick against them with The Sharks in town. You can argue San Joses multiple road upsets this season, but they come into this game on very little rest.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: OVER 6.0 (-110)
All things considered; we’ve decided to fade puckline due to both teams’ inconsistencies in finishing hockey games. Due to this, we’re taking the over six goals, as both squads are allowing a ton of goals in this stretch of the year.
