Sharks vs. Blues Preview
The Sharks should play in plenty of highly entertaining matchups this season. There may not be a player in the league who combines talent with motor quite like Macklin Celebrini (who remains day-to-day and missed practice Wednesday), while Ivar Stenberg should finish as a Calder Trophy nominee at a minimum.
But the back end is a huge concern, and the overall lack of quality two-way talents should mean the Sharks aren't much better defensively than they were a year ago, even if playing in what figures to be a very soft Pacific Division may help hide that flaw at times.
Last season, across 253.9 minutes of play, the Blues' current top line of Robert Thomas, Jimmy Snuggerud and Dylan Holloway generated 3.55 xGF/60 and scored 5.67 goals per 60 where it counts, which was the highest mark of any line to spend 200 minutes together.
The three remain together on both the top line and top power play, and it wouldn't be overly surprising if both Snuggerud and Holloway are able to offer more consistent seasons at ages 22 and 25, respectively.
At +100 in a spot with a high implied team total, there looks to be value in backing Thomas and Snuggerud, each to record a point.
Pick: Robert Thomas and Jimmy Snuggerud 1+ Point Each (+100, bet365 | Play to -110)
