Betting Trends
San Jose
The underdog is a perfect 6-0 in the last six meetings between these two teams and so is the road squad.
Winnipeg
The Jets have beaten the Sharks in five of the last seven meetings between the two teams but are just 1-5 in their last six home games versus San Jose.
Our Prediction
The Jets have won eight of 10 when they’re favored at home, are 9-4 in their last 13 games after scoring two goals or less in their previous contest and are 35-16 in their last 51 games when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game. On the other side, the Sharks have dropped 19 of their last 28 games overall, are 4-10 in their last 14 road games and have dropped 15 of their last 21 games as an underdog.
Friday NHL Prediction: San Jose Sharks -145
