Detroit at San Jose

The Detroit Red Wings have come back from the dead in this series. They trailed the Sharks three games to none, and have roared back with three straight wins. The Sharks have to be shaken here, while the Wings who have a very long and productive history in the playoffs and aren't going out easy as the last three games have suggested. The problem for San Jose is that they have proven very vulnerable behind the net in the postseason. Their 12 games show they have allowed 3 goals or more in nine of them, and also in nine of the last 11. The Sharks have not been up to the task on a single day of rest at just 3-7 in their last 10, while the Red Wings have taken eight of their last 11 vs. a winning team. The Sharks’ defensive shortcomings have led to a 16-7-2 mark to the OVER in their last 25, while Detroit has played OVER in 10 of their last 13 vs. a winning team. I will respect the venue here and will play on Detroit on the puckline as well as the OVER.
