ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Vegas Golden Knights Puck Line (-1.5 goals -105) over San Jose Sharks, Tuesday at 10:05 PM ET - Vegas is in a great spot here which is why they are a -260 favorite on the money line. Where the value is here is with the puck line which is in the even money range on this one. Regardless of the starting goalies here, we love the Golden Knights in this spot. However, we will mention that the expected starters are Ilya Samsonov for Vegas and Alexandar Georgiev for the Sharks. Samsonov was in the starters' crease at the morning skate earlier today and so we expect him to get the call here. He has been absolutely fantastic with a 5-0 record in his last 5 starts and a total of only 7 goals allowed in those 5 starts! The Sharks Georgiev, on the other hand, has continued to struggle. He has an 0-4 record in his last 4 starts and has allowed at least 4 goals in all 4 starts! San Jose is off B2B wins but this followed 8 straight losses and defeats in 11 of last 12 games. The Sharks have averaged scoring just 2 goals in last 15 games (including the B2B wins) and just don't have the offensive production necessary to keep up with the high-flying Golden Knights. Right now Vegas has been on a mission with wins in 12 of last 14 games including 8 of last 9! Also, each of the last 7 wins for Vegas have come by a multi-goal margin. Each of the last 4 Sharks home losses have come by a multi-goal margin. The Golden Knights have scored an average of 4 goals in their last 6 road victories. Vegas also has won the two meetings this season by a combined 13 to 6 and they won the 4 meetings last season by a combined 18 to 5. Look for this dominating pattern to continue here. Road team in a blowout per our computer math model. Laying the 1.5 goals with road favorite Vegas is the value play here.
