San Jose Sharks vs Winnipeg Jets Betting Preview
Sharks Staying Above Water
Despite being near the bottom in league standings, the San Jose Sharks stats have been much better as of late in the scores and odds. As mentioned, they’re 4-1-2 in their last six games and 2-2-2 in their last six road games. They’ve been much better since starting the season without a win in their first 11 games. With that said, they’re still T31st in NHL stats for goals per game (2.08), 32nd in shots (25.5), and 32nd in goals allowed (3.82). They also have the second-worst penalty kill but are T22nd in power-play percentage (16.9).
San Jose is 5-19-3 on the road this season and 11-16 against the spread (ATS), although it’s not often they’re +2.5 goal underdogs. Tomas Hertl leads the San Jose Sharks in NHL player stats with 34 points (15 goals, 19 assists), but is out with injury, and Mikael Granlund is second with 29 points (5 goals, 24 assists). The Jets, in contrast, have six players with more than 29 points.
Jets Looking to Build Momentum
It’s somewhat surprising Winnipeg are such big favorites in the Sharks vs Jets odds considering they had lost five NHL matchups in a row before beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 on Saturday. Moreover, the Winnipeg Jets have scored just six goals in their last six games. Perhaps a meeting with the Sharks, which rank last in shots allowed and goals allowed, is exactly what the Winnipeg Jets players need to get back on track.
Winnipeg, which is among the NHL picks to win the Stanley Cup, are first in goals allowed (2.32) and 17th in goals (3.02). The team acquired Sean Monahan last week from the Montreal Canadiens to boost its offense, but he has yet to record a point with his new team. Mark Scheifele leads the Jets in scoring with 43 points (15 goals, 28 assists).
The Jets have no players on the NHL injury report, but defenseman Brenden Dillon is serving his last game of a three-game suspension for a headshot on Penguins’ Noel Acciari.
San Jose Sharks vs Winnipeg Jets Betting Picks
The Jets should win this one, but considering how much they’ve been struggling to score and the fact the Sharks have been playing much better as of late, the +1.5 puck line is a tad disrespectful to San Jose. That’s a great value bet for the Sharks vs Jets odds.
- Pick: San Jose +1.5 (+145)
