Sharks Finding Offensive Rhythm at Home

San Jose enters this matchup with a 30-25-4 overall record and a strong 17-10-3 record at home this season. Over their last five games the Sharks recently won over Montreal, recently won over Winnipeg in overtime, recently won over Edmonton, recently lost to Calgary, and recently lost to Colorado.

The Sharks are averaging 3.12 goals per game while allowing 3.49 goals per contest. San Jose generates 25.9 shots per game but allows a high 30.6 shots against per contest. Their power play has been productive with 41 goals and a 20.3% conversion rate.

San Jose’s offensive pressure has been one of their biggest advantages this season. Even though they allow plenty of shots defensively, they have consistently been able to respond with scoring of their own. The Sharks have also added two short-handed goals this season while not allowing a short-handed goal against.

St. Louis Blues vs San Jose Sharks Pick

Sharks Moneyline

San Jose enters this matchup playing some of their best hockey recently, winning three of their last four games while scoring plenty of goals along the way. The Blues have struggled on the road this season and their penalty kill has been a major weakness. With the Sharks’ offense rolling and the home ice advantage at the SAP Center, San Jose appears to have the edge in this contest.

St. Louis Blues vs San Jose Sharks Total Pick

Take the over if the total is set at 6

I expect this game to feature a good amount of scoring. San Jose has been involved in several high-scoring games recently and their defensive numbers still allow opponents plenty of chances. With St. Louis also allowing over three goals per game, I see this game trending toward the over if the total lands around six.

Final Score Prediction: Sharks 4, Blues 3
