In this Devils vs Sharks Prediction, the Devils are coming as -230 road favorites. The Devils have the best record in hockey this season and are looking to bounce back after just their second loss of the season. The Sharks are 4-1 to the puckline in their last 5 games but I don’t trust them to keep this one close. Both teams have been playing some higher-scoring games lately, as they are 6-2 to the over in their last 8 games combined. The Sharks have the worst defense in hockey, while the Devils have the best offense, so I expect fireworks offensively in this game. Take the over 6.5 goals.
