Sharks at Blues 5/17/19 - NHL Playoffs Picks & Predictions

The Sharks scored off of what appeared to be a hand pass to bring home a win in the third game of the series. However, the Sharks defense was definitely challenged in the first game in Saint Louis and that really is something the Sharks would like to avoid in this game here, but it could be a challenge for the Sharks who looked outmatched at times in the game.

Jordan Binnington played in the net for the Blues. He faced a total of 32 shots as well and turned away 27 of them. One of the shots that he faced was in the end of regular time when the Sharks had the extra attacker on the ice and Binnington was beat to allow the Sharks to tie the game in the final minute of the game.

The Blues are definitely going to come into this game playing with a chip on their shoulder. The Blues also will be looking to prove that the final 2 goals the Sharks had in the game were flukes and not something that will be the new standard. Look for Binnington to play to the whistle as well and not give up on any plays, even if a penalty should have been called as the Blues bring home a win. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Blues win 5-3.
