San Jose Sharks vs. Florida Panthers Prediction

I’m on the Sharks in this one. I get the case to be made for Florida laying juice at home, but this is still a lot for me for a Sharks team that’s been solid in the underdog role up to this point and while they’ve been better at home, I still think there’s enough here for the Sharks to steal one here. Give me San Jose in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: San Jose +1.5
