Last night finished up 1-1 for us, but the Blues came through with a 2 goal win giving us a +0.45 night. The Blackhawks made it to overtime with the Canadiens, but we lost the coin flip to take down that wager. Tonight I have only found one line that I like. There are a lot of very big favourites tonight, but I couldn’t justify taking an underdog when I legitimately think they will lose. Without further ado here is the one NHL prediction of the evening.
San Jose Sharks @ Anaheim Ducks
The Sharks have won 4 straight as they continue to roll into the playoffs. The Sharks could be the hottest team entering the post season and the talk will soon start up once again about how this could be their year. It’s funny how only a few months ago the Sharks sat in 11th in the West and analysts were starting to count them out of the playoffs already. The Ducks have gone pointless in two straight, which has not helped their playoff push. They now sit tied for 7th with Chicago, but only 2 points ahead of a Stars team that is rallying and really putting on a push to the finish. This is a huge game for the Ducks, but the Sharks are also battling for second in the West so they will not go into this game lightly, especially seeing as this could very easily be a first round match up. With both teams rested and finding meaning in this game I expect the better team to prevail, and in this case that honour falls to the Sharks. The Ducks have been good at home, but the Sharks are rolling and will look to continue this momentum into the post season. Add the fact that the line likely moved in favour of the Ducks because of their desperation and I am convinced there is value betting the Sharks tonight.
My Pick: San Jose Sharks -115
