The Sharks continue to impress with great hockey. They are relentless on the defensive end and being the net, which is why they have taken seven of their last eight. Opponents have managed just 11 goals in the eight games, and not a single team has topped the 2 mark. The Blackhawks have done a remarkable job this season at 36-13-4. One reason is the fact that they have allowed 2 goals or less in 29 of the 53 games, and three or less in 41 of the 53. That doesn't leave much room on either side to be scoring big in this one. The Sharks have been decidedly an under team after scoring 5 or more as they have gone 36-17-3 to the UNDER in their following game. This one has a playoff billing and will be played accordingly, so I'll back the UNDER.
