Bruins vs. Sharks Preview
Charlie McAvoy’s six-game suspension is over, and going 4-2 without its No. 1 defenseman is a decent result for Boston.
The Bruins beat up on a struggling Flyers team and picked up a nice 6-1 win over the Mammoth in their last two games, but put up two duds against the Wild and the Senators before that.
Jeremy Swayman has done his part to bridge the gap, posting a .932 save percentage, and he’s expected to get the start again tonight.
That’s bad news for a Sharks team that has been underwhelming given the hype coming into the season. San Jose ranks dead last in expected goals for at 5-on-5 and has cashed in just seven times at even strength. With that said, I expect the Sharks to wake up here to cap off the Frozen Frenzy in the Shark Tank.
I think it’s only a matter of time before San Jose's offense comes around, and an 11 p.m. ET puck drop is a tough spot for an East Coast team.
Give me the Sharks to close out the night.
16 games and one long day of hockey that runs well past midnight. It doesn’t get much better than this, so enjoy it all.
Best Bet: Sharks ML (+104, bet365)
