Blues vs Sharks Prediction

The Sharks are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Blues, but the Blues are 3-2 in their last 5 meetings in San Jose.

In this Blues vs Sharks Prediction, the Sharks are coming as -130 home favorites. The Sharks have been the better team this season and the most profitable team in hockey. They have been playing their best hockey at home ice and have three consecutive wins, while the Blues have been terrible on the road and are 3-1 in their last four games. Both teams are 6-2 to the under in their last 8 games combined, as the Blues have the 5th-worse offense in hockey, so I expect a low-scoring affair today. Take the under 6.
