The Dallas Stars and the San Jose Sharks meet in NHL action from the SAP Center on Saturday night.

The Dallas Stars will look to bounce back from a 4-0 loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings in their last game. Joe Pavelski leads the Stars in scoring with 21 points including 9 goals and 12 assists while Jason Robertson has 20 points with 12 assists and Roope Hintz has 18 points with a team-high 11 goals. Miro Heiskanen also has 16 points with a team-high 13 assists. Braden Holtby’s posted a 5-5-1 record with a 2.42 GAA and a .923 save percentage while Jake Oettinger is 5-1 with a 1.52 GAA and a .951 save percentage this season.

The San Jose Sharks could use a win after a 5-2 loss to Minnesota in their last game. Timo Meier leads the Sharks in scoring with 26 points including a team-high 11 goals and 15 assists while Logan Couture has 24 points with 8 goals and a team-high 16 assists. Tomas Hertl has 19 points with a team-high 13 goals and 6 apples this season. Adin Hill has gone 6-8 with a 2.82 GAA and an .903 save percentage for the Sharks while James Reimer is 8-4-1 with a 2.06 GAA and a .934 save percentage this season.

Dallas is 8-1 in their last 9 games as a favorite and 7-2 in their last 9 games overall while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games against the Western Conference. San Jose is 7-19 in their last 26 Saturday games and 21-44 in their last 65 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.

I get why the Sharks at home are worth a look, but even in losing back-to-back games the Stars are the hotter team here but would it surprise anyone if Dallas dropped a third straight? Not really. Instead, I’m going to side with the under as I think both sides get involved in a tough, hard-nosed affair with lots of hitting and a first-to-3 type of game. Give me the under here.
