Betting Trends for vs
The Sharks are heading into the game with an offense that is struggling and a defense that has not really shown up on the ice. The Canucks, though, are playing on the road and are playing in the second game of their back to back and that does not give the Canucks ample time to rest in between games. Look for the Canucks players to be tired in this game as the Sharks pull off the upset. Final Score Prediction, San Jose Sharks win 4-3.
