The Sharks are 7-18 in their last 25 Saturday games and 1-7 in their last 8 games as an underdog. The Panthers are 40-11 in their last 51 home games and 38-18 in their last 56 overall. The under is 7-2 in Sharks last 9 overall. The over is 11-4 in Panthers last 15 overall. The Sharks are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings.

The San Jose Sharks don’t win in the underdog role, and they’re running into a buzz saw here on the road. The Florida Panthers have been ridiculous on their home ice this season and the offensive production is getting out of control. Betting against the Panthers here doesn’t seem wise. Give me the cats and the PL for max betting value.
