Money Line Pick
SJ Sharks Win(+115)

Saturday in the NHL brings a Pacific Division showdown as the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks hit the ice. These teams are just four points away from each other in the standings, which should translate to a tight and spirited game. Here is our Sharks vs. Canucks prediction.

Vancouver won four-straight games immediately after trading their captain and star defenseman Quinn Hughes, but came back down to Earth after a 5-2 defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers. This is the league’s reminder that Vancouver does not necessarily present a constant threat. San Jose meanwhile has been playing poor, with three-straight losses that had them outscored 16-7. However, I expect the script to flip in this one. A Christmas break could be just what the doctor ordered for a struggling Sharks team. They are without young studs Will Smith (injury) and Michael Misa (World Juniors), but they are still led by a true phenom in Macklin Celebrini. I see them as a team that has minimal expectations but is looking to stay highly competitive. I expect the group to play with a high level of urgency and effort to break their skid, resulting in a win on the road. For our Sharks vs. Canucks prediction, take San Jose on the money line.
