I had planned to pass on this but for some reason the Sharks are starting struggling Yaroslov Askarov -- buy a W (as in consonant) dude -- even thought he has been raked of late and the team generally platoons. It should be Alex Nedeljkovic's turn and he has won five in a row. So I'm gonna break a rule and not take -1 here. The goalie change feels like a gift.

Heading into the Olympic break we're taking a conservative approach on bet sizing. We're getting to the point of the absurd on this total and I'll take the bait. San Jose hasn't created a ton of chances at 5 on 5 of late regardless of their scorelines. Edmonton hasn't exactly been air tight defensively either but that's also why we have a 7 in play here. My total on the game is 6.64 so under is worth a bet.
