Canucks vs. Sharks Prediction

I’m on the over here. I wanted to get behind the Sharks here but the good vibes could end with a thud at any time, and the Canucks have owned this matchup over the last couple of years. That being said, the over’s been cashing at a high rate as well, even if it is a lot of one-sided games and I think that we could get another over here as well. Give me the over.
