Penguins vs. Sharks Preview
The Penguins are really slumping right now, going 3-6-1 in their last 10 games. This includes a 5-2 loss on the road against the Ducks in their last game. Pittsburgh has now allowed 5+ goals in two of their last three games.
On the other side, the Sharks got back on track with a 3-2 win in a shootout against the Islanders in their last game. With a superstar like Macklin Celebrini, I don't think San Jose is nearly as bad as their current record. It's likely that they'll start to pick up the pace.
Facing a team that has trouble keeping the puck out of the net, I like Celebrini to lead the Sharks to a second consecutive win at home. You have to like getting them at +115 odds in this spot, especially with Pittsburgh similarly struggling this year.
Pick: Sharks ML
