Nashville Predators vs San Jose Sharks : San Jose Sharks +1.5 (-217)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the puck drops in Nashville, the Sharks are primed to make waves. Despite the Preds' home-ice advantage, their recent performance is somewhat deflating, with just a single victory out of their last five home games. They're averaging a mere 0.2 goals per game, with a troubling 2 goals conceded on average. Now, contrast this with the Sharks' recent away form. They've notched up 3 wins in their last 5 road games, managing to find the net with a higher frequency than their hosts. The Sharks' assist average at 2.4 also indicates a more cohesive offensive unit. Although their goals against average is a concern at 3.6, the Predators' lackluster scoring record might just cushion that blow. So, in this oceanic battle, it's the Sharks who seem ready to circle the Predators, making the 'San Jose Sharks +1.5' a tempting bet.
