Florida Panthers vs. San Jose Sharks Pick
Spread Pick for Panthers vs. Sharks
- Florida Panthers (4 units)
Florida is on a road trip and missing several of its players, but it will have a slight advantage in this matchup with a full day’s rest, while San Jose will be playing for the second consecutive night. The Sharks face Winnipeg on Friday, and that will be a defensive-minded, physical game that will sap strength from the Sharks. Florida has a strong blue line, and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky is performing well between the pipes with a 2.74 goals against average and a .887 save percentage. San Jose rotates its two goalies, and both have goals against averages of above 3.25. San Jose has lost 15 of its last 20 games, and the Sharks are weak on their home ice, losing 11 of the last 13. Look for Florida to push forward with every possession, while playing a physical game in the neutral zone and keeping the crease open so Bobrovsky has a clear sight of vision when San Jose takes their shots. The Panthers will look to get as many odd-man rushes in transition.
Over/Under Pick for Panthers vs. Sharks
- Over (4 units)
The total has finished over in four of Florida's last six games, in six of San Jose's last nine games, and in six of San Jose's last eight games against a team from the Eastern Conference. Both of San Jose's goalies have goals against averages of above 3.25. The Sharks are 10th in goals-for average.
