Red Wings at Sharks picks and predictions
Prediction
Sharks 3, Red Wings 2
Moneyline
The Sharks have won 2 of the last 5 meetings, and 3 of those went into OT. San Jose is young, and it’s an exciting squad that can light the lamp. This is much closer to a pick ’em for me, and I’ll take the value with SHARKS (+125).
Puck line/Against the spread
BET TYLER TOFFOLI OVER 2.5 SHOTS ON GOAL (-125). He’s coming off a 2-goal game, and he’ll be feeling good. He has 4+ shots in 2 of the last 3 games. It’s a fair value for me.
Over/Under
Detroit is 7-10-0 O/U, and San Jose is 7-10-2. I like the way both goaltenders are performing this month. Neither offense is really clicking.
BET UNDER 6 (-110), but go easily here.
