The Sharks have lost 6 of their last 7 but losing is nothing new to this team as San Jose owns one of the worst records in the league. In their latest effort, the Sharks dropped a 3-2 overtime decision to the Red Wings on Tuesday and were outplayed in all facets of the game. Had it not been for a sharp performance by their goalie, James Reimer, the score would have been far more lopsided.
We spoke about one of the worst teams in the league so why not shift gears and talk about one of the very best? Carolina checks in with the second-best record in the NHL, trailing only the impossibly hot Boston Bruins, and has won 5 of their last 6 contests. If there is one angle to keep in mind between these clubs it is the disparity between how many shots the Sharks take (29.4/27th) and how many the Hurricanes allow (26.4/1st).
The Canes will bottle up the anemic Sharks' offense and should be good for at least 4 goals in this one. Let’s lay the 1 ½ goals and watch Carolina win by two or more tonight.
