San Jose Sharks at Vegas Golden Knights - 4/24/22 NHL Picks and Prediction

Through 72 games, the San Jose Sharks goal and overall scoring leader is Timo Meier, with 73 points. He has reached his mark of 33 goals, on a shooting percentage of 10.8%. So far, 36.0% of his goals have come during power play time. Behind him is Tomas Hertl, who has 34 assists to go along with his 28 goals. However, when on the ice, the Sharks are -9.0 in scoring differential. San Jose's top goalie is James Reimer, who is giving up an average of 2.83 goals per game. In his 46 games played, he has turned in 29 quality starts, giving him a quality start percentage above the league average.

Coming into this game, the Sharks have an over-under record of 31-45-1. When playing on the road, the over is hitting less than half the time, going 16-22. On the season, 44.0% of San Jose's games have gone for at least 6 goals or more, with 44.0% of the scoring coming from the Sharks. In Vegas's 78 games, the over has hit in over half of their games, going 43-32-3. So far, taking the over when the Golden Knights are playing at home has been a good bet with an over-under record of 24-14-2. On the season, 59.0% of Vegas's games have gone for at least 6 goals or more, with 53.0% of the scoring coming from the Golden Knights. I don't see this matchup finishing below the line of 6.5 goals, as the Sharks won't contribute enough scoring, even against just the 17th-ranked goalie unit in terms of save percentage.
