Hurricanes vs Sharks Prediction

The Canes won both meetings against the Sharks last season. At home by 3-2 and on the road by 3-1. They have won their last 7 meetings against the Sharks, and their last three visits in San Jose. Under is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings.

In this Hurricanes vs Sharks Prediction, the Hurricanes are coming as -270 home favorites. The Canes are 3-6 to the puckline in their last 9 meetings against the Sharks, but I don’t like either side in this matchup. Both teams are a perfect 4-0 to the over combined this season, as they have 10 and 8 average total goals. Sharks combined a strong power play, with 37.5%, with a terrible Power play kill, with 62.5%, and I don’t trust either goalie in this matchup. I expect a lot of goals in this game, so take the over 6.5.
