Senators vs Sharks Pick
Money Line Pick For Senators vs Sharks
- Sharks (+135) (4 units)
The Senators are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference but the Sharks are playing great hockey and they look to take over this game on their home ice. The Sharks should create plenty of scoring chances with Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Sharks, who have allowed only five goals in their last two games, should limit the Senators' offense with Dmitry Orlov, Mario Ferraro, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Yaroslav Askarov to make plenty of big saves. The Sharks should win the game and provide great odds in the process as home Underdogs.
Take the Sharks money line as home Underdogs.
Over/Under Pick For Senators vs Sharks
- Over 6 (5 Units)
Both teams are playing great offense and I see this game being a high-scoring one from the first period. The Senators, who average 3.25 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Tim Stutzle, Drake Batherson, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Sharks, who have scored seven goals in their last two games, should run up the score against the Senators, who allow 3.35 goals per game, with Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, William Eklund, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence while creating open shots with effective puck movement to overwhelm the Senators defense from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6 goals.
