San Jose Sharks vs. Colorado Avalanche Prediction
I’m on the over here. I just think there’s going to be some goals here in the final game before the break for these two, with San Jose losing three straight and Colorado dropping 7 of 10 and 3 straight at home which is a rarity for this team. I think Colorado wants to get the ship steered right before the break, but San Jose’s got some pop in their own right so give me the over here.
