Our Best Bet:

Over 5.5 Total Goals

San Jose’s poor defensive form, combined with Vancouver’s recent offensive production, makes this a prime spot for an over bet. Even though the Canucks have been solid at home, the Sharks’ offensive firepower (despite their struggles) should push the total to the over.
