The San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks have played 3 games this season against one another, and all 3 have been high-scoring one-goal games. Anaheim won 7-6 in overtime back on October 11, while San Jose won 5-4 on December 29 and 4-3 on April 1. All of those games went over the listed total, but the total number of goals scored decreased from one game to the next. It’s clear these teams are figuring each other out, which could lead to a lower-scoring game in this Thursday night matchup.
The Ducks are especially struggling on offense right now, as they are scoring just 2.3 goals per game over their current 6-game losing streak. Furthermore, the power plays for the Sharks and Ducks are in a bit of a rut. San Jose is 0-for-8 on the man advantage over its last 3 games, while Anaheim is just 1-for-15 on the power play over its last 4 contests. Without strong special teams production, it’s tough to see this one going over the listed total of 6.5. Make it a small play considering the previous matchups between these teams this season, but consider the under.
Sharks vs Ducks prediction: Under 6.5 (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
