This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the OVER Sharks/Jets.

With just three games on Friday night in the NHL, this one immediately jumped out at me.

Winnipeg is 3-0, but it's yet to see the total go OVER the number this season, going 0-2-1 thus far. The Jets have had four whole nights off after a 2-1 OT win over Minnesota, but note that dating to last year Winnipeg has seen the total go OVER the number in five of its last six when playing with three or more days of rest.

San Jose is 0-1-2 SU and it's seen the total go UNDER in two straight after a 3-2 shootout loss at Dallas. Dating to last year though the Sharks have seen the total eclipse the posted number in five of its last seven after three or more straight losses in a row. They play on Friday night vs. the Hawks, and I believe their defense will be a mess here in the second game of the back-to-back.

With each team pushing the pace like I suspect from the opening face-off until the final horn, everything does indeed point to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
