San Jose Sharks vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

The Sharks finally won their first game since the JFK Assassination, but that doesn’t mean I’m showing them any attention here. The Sharks are awful and need a larger sample size to show they’re not awful for me to put any sort of money down. The Devils are rolling on both ends of the ice, and this should be one of their easier games yet. It’s really that simple. You’re sitting on coin if you’ve blindly faded the Sharks dating back to last season. Give me the Devils and the PL for max betting value.
