Today marks the start of a 6 game road trip for the Sharks in which they are supposed to prove the critics that the 1-3-0 start is a fluke. New Jersey have lost their legend Brodeur for 7-10 days and Hedberg gets the nod between the pipes today. God forbid if it came to a situation where he has to go out, on goal goes Kinkaid and everyone in New Jersey is in for a long night. Even this way they better prepare for a lot of action in front of NJ goal. San Jose is the best team in the league in the shots for/shots against department. The second on this list is Detroit. They are 4-0-0 so far and San Jose are 1-3-0. Amazing, right? Provided they limit their dumb mistakes from the last three, which they lost in regulation i am sure San Jose is a clear favorite. The return of Havlat on the second line for today's match will provide a much needed boost too. San Jose's powerplay is also amongst the best in the league (27%). With a good penalty kill tonight's game should be 2 points in the Sharks bag. If the Devils find a way and keep them under 30 shots i can see a chance for them winning it. Either way i see no OT in this one and the clear favs are San Jose.
Pick: San Jose @2.3 (Unibet)
Stake: 75
Result: LOST
