San Jose Sharks vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/19/26

The San Jose Sharks are currently on their East Coast road trip, making a stop in Florida to face off against the Panthers. The Sharks find themselves in a 4-way tie for third place in the Pacific Division, meaning every point is crucial. This is the closest they have been to a playoff spot in a long time. Although there are some gaps in their lineup and their goaltending hasn’t been stellar, they are gradually getting healthier and face a favorable matchup.

The Panthers, meanwhile, are returning home but are playing their third game in just 4 nights. Players have expressed that this condensed schedule is a challenge, making it difficult to fully recover before each game. Florida is also dealing with numerous injuries, further complicating matters. Although they have won 3 of their last 4 games, the Panthers’ status as heavy favorites while on short rest seems optimistic. Additionally, the Panthers’ goaltending has been questionable throughout the season — and they cannot rely solely on Sergei Bobrovsky to win games. The Sharks will have their work cut out for them, but we see value in their chances — so I’ll lean toward them on the money line.
