The set-up: I think this is a good spot to pull the trigger on the home side on the puck line here. The price of admission is worth it, as I expect the Sharks to throw everything they have at the Blues tonight. St. Louis just had its four-game win streak snapped in a 4-3 OT loss at LA last time out, and with four whole days off after this, I believe it'll struggle to find energy here in San Jose.

The pick: The Sharks not only play with revenge after a 7-6 loss to the Blues back on February 27th, but they are also desperate to break a three-game slide, including a 4-0 shutout loss at home to Vegas in their most recent. In a contest which I see being decided late or even in extra time, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance.

This is an 8* PUCK-LINE PLAY-BOOK on the Sharks.
