Sharks vs Capitals Prediction

The Sharks are coming off a win over the Blackhawks, and they’ve won the last two games against the Capitals, so you can talk yourself into the plus money. But you’re then reminded that the Sharks are arguably the worst team in hockey, and they don’t string together success. The Capitals have the offensive horses to give the Sharks fits, and they’ve been road warriors all year where they’re 22-8-2 on the season. The Sharks don’t cash enough tickets to chase a potential big payout. Give me the Caps, and of course, I’ll take the PL to shave the juice.
