Flames vs Sharks Prediction

The Sharks continue to show they’re the worst team in the NHL, with losses in nine of their last 10 games. The Sharks are getting drilled defensively, allowing four or more goals in eight of those contests. The Flames have run into a recent cold stretch themselves, but this feels like what the doctor ordered. The Flames have won eight of the last nine games against the Sharks, and that includes outscoring them 11-4 in the last three games. You just can’t get behind the Sharks with any sort of confidence. Give me the Flames and the PL for max betting value.
