Blues vs Sharks prediction

I'm not running to the window to back the Blues on the road, where they're 17-19-2 on the season. The Blues at this price on the road is nuts. However, it just goes to show how bad the Sharks are. The Sharks are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games, and they're 10-23-4 at home this season. The Blues also are still mathematically in the playoff race, so motivation is on the Blues side. The Blues have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Sharks. I have no choice but to side with the Blues, and I'll take the PL for max betting value.
