Penguins vs Sharks Prediction
In this Penguins vs Sharks Prediction, the Penguins are coming as -135 road favorites. Both teams have been in terrible form lately, as the Sharks are 2-7 in their last 9 games and have lost two of their last three home games, while the Penguins are 1-5 in their last 6 games and have been terrible on the road with a 2-8 record. I see no value on either side and both teams have been struggling offensively lately, with the Sharks having scored two goals or less in four of their last six games and the Penguins in three of their last four. They also average 5.6 goals per game combined and I cannot see where the offense will come from. Take the under 6.5 in this one.
