Sharks vs. Flyers Pick
Sharks vs. Flyers Moneyline Pick
- Sharks +155 (4 units)
San Jose has been better than expected to this point of the season as their young players continue to impress. The Sharks are still sputtering a bit on the road but their offensive production has been much better than a season ago. Philadelphia has been up and down of late, and they are 1-2 on this homestand, losing to Pittsburgh and Colorado while downing Buffalo. Vladar has been sound between the pipes, but the Flyers are struggling to put the old biscuit in the basket. San Jose is a team with low expectations so they don’t have that kind of pressure on them. Take the freewheeling Sharks in this contest.
Sharks vs. Flyers Over/Under Pick
- Under 6 (4 units)
San Jose has stayed under the number in 17 of their 30 games this season. The Sharks have seen an average total of 6.10 goals per game to this point of the season and that climbs to 6.31 goals per game in their 13 road tilts.

The Flyers entered Monday night with an average of 5.67 goals per game, and that number slides down to 5.56 goals per game at home this year. With Philadelphia struggling to score and the tendency for lower-scoring affairs at home, take the under here.
