San Jose Sharks vs Calgary Flames: Mikael Backlund Over 1.5 Points (+700)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds for Mikael Backlund to score over 1.5 points are sitting at a juicy +700, which is a tempting offer for this matchup. The San Jose Sharks have been pretty active on the ice, landing over 25 hits a game this season, showing they are not afraid to put in the effort. Backlund is facing a Sharks team that has allowed a fair number of goals lately, and their goaltending might not be up to par right now.
However, the Calgary Flames have been doing well recently, winning 6 of their last 10 games. This will make it tough for Backlund, especially since the Flames also don't block as many shots as the Sharks do. Given how close these teams are form-wise, it could be a tricky night for him. Still, the potential payout here is hard to ignore.
