Sharks vs Bruins Prediction

I’m not excited to back either team, as the Sharks are the worst team in the league, and it looks like the Bruins have given up on the season. With that said, somebody has to win, and backing the Sharks is the lowest you can go as an NHL bettor.

The Sharks do nothing right at either end of the ice, and they’ve lost 22 times at home. The Bruins have won 14 straight games against the Sharks. The Sharks have not beat the Bruins since March 2016. You usually don’t get these sorts of prices to fade the Sharks, which says a lot about the Bruins, but still, give me the Bruins.
