San Jose Sharks vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

The Sharks keep getting no love from oddsmakers despite piling up the wins, and we keep cashing tickets by taking advantage of it. You can argue the Sharks should be bigger favorites. The Canucks have one win since December 30. That’s one more win than you and I have combined. The Canucks are awful and a team you should have been blindly fading a month ago. These teams met a month ago, and the Sharks won 6-3. San Jose is an even better team right now, as the confidence has only improved. The Canucks have five home wins, so home ice means nothing here. Give me the Sharks and the cheap price.
