Why The Sharks Will Cover The Spread/Win

San Jose has only won six games, and they have only won one of those games on the road. The Sharks have scored at least two goals in all their wins this season. There is not much argument for the Sharks, but if they can net two goals, they might be able to cover this spread. The Islanders give up over three goals per game, so there is a possiblity of this happening.

Why The Islanders Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Sharks are not a good team. They do not defend, and they do not score, so they make it very hard on themselves. The Islanders should have no problem in this game. Just looking at the Sharks offensive stats, they score less than 2.00 goals per game which is last in the league, and they are last in shot percentage. The Sharks hardly make any shots they take. When pucks are put on net, it is usually a pretty easy save for the goalie. The Islanders are 8-1-2 when they allow three goals or less, and they should have no problem hold the Sharks to that in this game.

Offensively, the Islanders should not struggle, either. New York scores just 2.78 goals per game, but the Sharks allow the most in the NHL. San Jose also allows the most shots in the NHL by over 100. New York is going to put plenty of shots on net, and they should be able to light the lamp a few times in this one.

Final Sharks-Islanders Prediction & Pick

The Sharks are not a good team, and they have become very hard to bet on. For this game, I am going to take the Islanders to not only win, but cover the spread, as well.

Final Sharks-Islanders Prediction & Pick: Islanders -1.5 (-134), Over 5.5 (-120)
