(NHL) San Jose vs. Anaheim,
Money Line: -113.00 Anaheim (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -113.00 Anaheim (Home)
Result: Win
The Ducks probably should have defeated the Sharks on Friday night. They blew a 3-1 lead and lost in a shootout. Anaheim outshot San Jose, 37-30.
I don't see the Ducks losing a second straight home game at Honda Center to San Jose in this second of consecutive games.
The problem with backing the Ducks is their lack of offense They rank last in the NHL in scoring. However, the Ducks have scored a season-best seven goals during their last two games. They also are facing a porous Sharks defense that ranks second-to-last in the league giving up 3.9 goals per game.
The Sharks haven't been good enough offensively to overcome their defensive problems ranking 27th in scoring. Anaheim ranks eighth defensively and has the sixth-best penalty killing unit. The Sharks have scored just one power play goal in 26 chances during their past six games.
