Sharks vs Hurricanes Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Canes won 5-1 in San Jose and have won their last 8 meetings against the Sharks. Under is 8-2 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Sharks vs Hurricanes Prediction, the Hurricanes are coming as -319 home favorites. This line is massive and for a good reason. The Sharks are having a good season for their standards, but the Canes have been the far better team this season, as they have more overall wins and more that twice as many wins at home than the Sharks have on the road. They are also coming into this mathcup in much better form, with a 3-1 record in their last 4 games, while the Sharks are 1-3 in their last 4 and have lost their last 5 games on the road. I expect the hosts to win this one comfortably, so take the Hurricanes on the puckline in this one.
