The Sharks are not good. That’s the kindest way to say it. Vancouver has a bit of bully in them and this should be a rout.
It's a big price on the Puck Line but in the case of the Sharks maybe a worthwhile risk. Though San Jose has found a bit of traction at home in the Tank the past couple of weeks, on the road it's been a different story, 0-7 and outscored a whopping 29-4 in the process, with three shutout losses. The Canucks also put ten past the Sharks a couple of weeks ago in San Jose so can't flinch at laying the extra goal at Rogers Arena. Play Canucks on Puck Line
This is about as drastic as a difference as we'll find in the NHL when it comes to quality of teams and offensive and defensive averages. At home over the past month, the Canucks are averaging 4.0 goals per game and allowing only 2.1. On the road over the past month, the Sharks are scoring only 0.6 goals per game and allowing a mammoth 4.1 on average. Tack on a massive power play edge for Vancouver, and it's hard to see a world they don't pour on the goals. The Canucks beat the Sharks earlier this year 10-1, and the two meetings prior were 7-2 and 6-2 Vancouver wins. The Nucks should take this with ease.
