Flames vs Sharks Prediction

In this Flames vs Sharks Prediction, the Sharks are coming as -130 home favorites. Both teams are looking to get back on track after getting blow out in their previous games, as the Sharks lost by 4 at home and the Flames by 3 on the road. The Flames have been terrible on the road this season with just one win in six road games, but the Sharks have not been good at home lately, having lost two of their last three home games, having scored one and zero goals in those two defeats and have a terrible history against the Flames in recent years, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been struggling offensively this season, as they average just 5.2 goals per game combined and most of their head-to-head meetings have been low-scoring ones. Take the under 6.5 goals in this one.

The Flames are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings against the Sharks and are 4-1 in their last five visits in San Jose. Under is 8-2 in their last 10 meetings.
