Vancouver Canucks vs San Jose Sharks Prediction

It’s impossible to get behind the San Jose Sharks with confidence as the defense keeps getting rocked, and they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games. The Sharks have allowed four or more goals in eight of their last nine games. Playing at home doesn’t help much, either, as the Sharks have 17 losses on their home ice. The Vancouver Canucks have done a decent job of beating the teams they’re supposed to beat, and that’s the case with the Sharks. The Canucks have won nine of the last 10 games against the Sharks. The Canucks have also been road warriors this season, with a 14-8-4 record. The Canucks have just 10 home wins. Give me the Canucks and of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
