The Sharks are well noted as having a big home ice advantage, but are off of three straight losses at The Tank. They come into this one doing well on the road where they have maintained a +.500 mark. That includes taking four of their last five games. The Ducks come in standing tall off a 6-0 win vs. Columbus on home ice, but their last shutout win was followed by a 5-2 loss. The Sharks are in a powerful spot as they are 5-0 in their last five vs. a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600. The Sharks have also been the Kings of back-to-back nights on the ice where they are 51-20 playing on no rest. The Sharks are also taking notice of an opponent off a 5+ scoring barrage in their last game, as they have played UNDER to a 36-13-4 mark vs. a team off of 5+ goals scored in their previous game. Couple that with the fact that the Ducks, after scoring 5 or more, have come back in their next outing to serve up a 34-15-4 mark to the UNDER. That makes both sides 70-28-8 to the UNDER in this exact situation. I’m playing both San Jose and the UNDER.
