Sharks vs Maple Leafs Prediction

The Sharks just don’t string wins together, and a win over the Bruins doesn’t change the fact that they’re awful at both ends of the ice. The Maple Leafs have put together a nice week of winning, and they have to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to win the Atlantic.

The Sharks have won back-to-back games just twice since December 5. The Sharks did beat the Maple Leafs earlier this month as a +250 underdog, but the Leafs have still won four of the last six games overall, and all of those wins weren’t close. The Maple Leafs simply can’t afford to blow a game like this. Give me the Leafs and the PL for max betting value.
