Sharks vs Panthers Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Sharks won 3-1 at home but the Panthers have won their 9 meetings before that.
In this Sharks vs Panthers Prediction, the Panthers are coming as -190 home favorites. The Panthers have been the better team this season but they have just two points and one win more than the Sharks, who are enjoying one of their best seasons in recent years. Florida is 4-5 in its last 9 games while San Jose is 7-3 in its last 10, so I’m not willing to lay -190 for the Panthers in this one. Both teams are 12-3 to the over in their last 15 games combined, as they allow 6.85 goals per game combined defensively. Take the over 6.5.
