Betting Trends for vs
The Sharks are falling apart in December, but at the same time the Sharks are playing at home and playing a Rangers team that has been questionable offensively at times this season. What else helps the Sharks is the Rangers are coming off a loss to the Kings, a questionable team this year. Look for the Sharks to take advantage of a Rangers defense that did not look up to the same standard as normal in their last game, but also playing at home allows the Sharks to bounce back nicely. The downside is the Rangers are a well coached team and can patch the holes that were exposed by the Kings before this game. Final Score Prediction, New York Rangers win 5-2.
