The St. Louis Blues are the better team on paper and have played some of their best hockey this season on the road. However, the Sharks have shown they can play with the Blues, taking two of the four meetings and they have these moments once in a while where they can surprise you. It's not like either of these clubs are playing out of this world. I'll take my chances with the Sharks at home and the plus money.
Randy’s Pick San Jose Sharks +125
