Jets hope offense improves
The Jets are having a rough season with their offense letting them down and scoring only 2.86 goals per game. Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor have scored 52 goals and 83 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only five skaters have 10 goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.
The offense has struggled but the defense has also played poorly, allowing 3.10 goals per game. Dylan DeMelo and Dylan Samberg have combined for 5.8 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to generate pressure in their zone. Additionally, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who was lights-out in the Olympics to earn a Gold, has struggled lately, allowing 13 goals in his last three starts.

Sharks vs Sharks Pick
Money Line Pick For Jets vs Sharks
- Jets (-125) (4 units)
The Jets have struggled lately but I see them stepping up and controlling this game against a struggling Sharks team. The Jets should create plenty of scoring chances against the Sharks, who allow 3.50 goals per game, with Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele moving the puck around the offensive zone and firing quick shots on the net. The Jets should limit the Sharks offense with Dylan DeMelo and Dylan Samberg stepping up in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to make plenty of big saves. The Jets should win the game with a strong performance on the road.
Take the Jets money line as road Favorites.
Over/Under Pick For Jets vs Sharks
- Over 6.5 (5 Units)
Both defenses have struggled, and I see this game being a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Sharks, who average 3.04 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net against the Jets, who allow 3.10 goals per game, with Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Jets should run up the score against the Sharks, who have allowed 18 goals in the last four games, with Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with effective puck movement to overwhelm the Sharks. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6.5 goals.
