Monday's Best NHL Bets
By Covers.com
Phoenix Coyotes at San Jose Sharks (-190, 5.5)
The Sharks have won three of their last four games and a red-hot offense is the reason why. San Jose has scored four or more goals in each of its last four games thanks to a surge from former captain Patrick Marleau.
The speedy center scored two goals and added an assist Saturday against the Minnesota Wild. The three-point outburst gives Marleau five goals and six points on the season.
After the Sharks disappointing first round exit in last season’s playoffs, fingers started pointing at the team’s captain. Head coach Todd McLellan stripped Marleau of the C but the long-time Shark doesn’t seem to be letting that affect his play.
“I don’t know how a person could handle all that,” teammate and new captain Robe Blake told the San Jose Mercury News. “He was as professional as any athlete could possibly be. He comes here every day like absolutely nothing is wrong or happened. With the way he’s plyaing, it doesn’t seem like anything can bother him.”
Marleau is the key to the Sharks' attack. There isn't as much weight on Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley when Marleau's line is producing.
Look for San Jose’s offense to stay hot tonight against the Coyotes. The over is 4-1 in the Sharks five games this season.
Pick: Over
Florida Panthers at Tampa Bay Lightning (-145, 5.5)
While the Lightning were ecstatic to pick up their first win of the season Saturday against the Hurricanes, Tampa Bay supporters would like to see more offensive production from Vincent Lecavalier.
The superstar center was expected to get off to a quick start because of the offseason addition to playmaker winger Alex Tanguay, but Lecavalier is yet to score a goal after his first four games.
“[Tanguay and Lecavalier] have had a lot of chances. I’d be worried if they weren’t getting them,” Lightning coach Rick Tochett told the St. Petersburgh Times.
It sounds like goalie Mike Smith will make his first start since getting run over by the Devils Jamie Langenbrunner. Smith compared the impact to getting hit by a small truck.
Expect the Lightning to break out offensively and the Panthers to convert several chances against a netminder coming off an injury.
