The Philadelphia Flyers will be visiting the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Sharks come into this game on a bit of a slide, they are riding a three-game losing streak. This is the worst time of the year to be going through a rough patch while they are in the middle of a tight playoff race. Goal scoring is not what the Flyers are known for. They are ranked 26th in the NHL, averaging 2.78 goals per game. They sit second-last in shots on goal per game averaging only 25.1 per game. On the flip side of this, they are one of the best teams at limiting their opponents’ shots on goal. They average 25.8 shots against per game, good for fourth in the league. The under is 4-1 in their last 5 games played. In one previous meeting with the Sharks this season, the scored was 4-1.
The Sharks are not a great defensive team, but their offense is only average. I am expecting a low-scoring game between these two teams with the early start in San Jose. Give me the under in this one.
Flyers vs. Sharks prediction: Under 6.0 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
