The San Jose Sharks were expected to win now they are basically going to lose but before they get eliminated they will at least win one game against the Dallas Stars. Currently the NHL online sports betting sportsbooks have the Stars listed as a 155 home favorite with the game total sitting at 5.

You have to give one game to the Sharks. They have such a potent lineup and at least pride will win them one game in this NHL playoff series. The Sharks have not played bad in h series and could have at least 2 out of the 3 games in the series. If it weren’t for one or two plays the Sharks themselves could be up 2 to 1 in the NHL playoff series. When the Sharks have their backs to the wall the San Jose are 7-0 in their last 7 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation and are 8-0 in their last 8 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. SO there are some betting trends to stick to even though they are down 3 games. At +135 this is a good dog game to place your money on.

Bottom Line: The San Jose Sharks are 13-3-2 in their last 18 games following OT on the previous day and have at least one game in the series to win and tonight is the game. They still have one of the best one two combos in the NHL with Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo and head to head the Underdog is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings.
