This is an 8* WEST-COAST EXPRESS on the San Jose Sharks.

For this particular play, we're going to use some common sense. Sometimes "rest can lead to rust," but in this case, we don't think that will be the case. Nashville is coming off an emotional, but extremely draining seven-game opening round victory over the Anaheim Ducks and is primed for a classic letdown here. The Sharks on the other hand have had a few days off to heal up and prepare after dispatching the Kings in five games, the only loss was an OT decision. For us, there's no need to break down individual player matchups or talk about the men between the pipes, this is a great "situational" play. The situational factors working in favor of San Jose justifying laying what we deem to be a very reasonable mid-sized price in Game 1. Play on the SHARKS.
