Panthers vs Sharks Prediction
The Panthers have won their last 10 meetings against the Sharks and have covered the puckline in their last 5.
In this Panthers vs Sharks Prediction, the Panthers are coming as -250 road favorites. Both teams surprisingly the same number of points, as the Sharks have been playing good hockey this season and are 4-1 in their last 5 games, but they are on the second leg of a home back-to-back. The Panthers have been bad on the road with a 2-5 record and have a weaker offense than the Sharks, so I don’t trust them as such big favorites on the road, as their goaltending has been shaky so far, with Bobrovsky struggling between the pipes. I like the hosts to keep this one close, so take the Sharks by +1.5 goals in this one.
