In this Avalanche vs Sharks Prediction, the Avalanche are coming as -225 road favorites. Colorado is on the second leg of a road back-to-back, coming off a road victory in Vegas last night. I cannot lay a puck and a half on a team in such a brutal scheduling spot, but I don’t trust the Sharks as home dogs either, as they have been dominated by the Avs for years now. The Sharks have the worst defense in hockey and a terrible power play and both teams average 7.11 goals per game offensively. Take the over 6.5 goals in this one.
