The San Jose Sharks (33-31-7) host the St. Louis Blues (31-30-11) tonight at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN+ from the SAP Center, where San Jose has compiled a solid 17-12-5 home record this season. St. Louis, by contrast, has struggled on the road with a 13-18-4 away mark, a trend that makes the Sharks' -1.5 spread a point of interest, even with a total set at 6.5.
San Jose's offense, averaging 3.00 goals per game, will test a Blues defense that gives up 3.10 goals per game and is without Tyler Tucker and John Klingberg on the blueline. Macklin Celebrini has been the engine for the Sharks, posting 98 points (36 G, 62 A), while Robert Thomas leads the Blues with 48 points. Given the home-ice advantage and San Jose's offensive production, it's worth considering how St. Louis will manage the defensive pressure. Make your pick or follow the discussion on StreakChat.
