This is an 8* SITUATIONAL BEATDOWN on the San Jose Sharks.

Both teams are 0-2. Clearly each is going to be hungry to get off the schneid, but the Sharks are a tough home team. This is the start of a tough four-game Western road swing for the lowly Sabres and we think the team gets caught looking ahead to its upcoming daunting schedule, with games at LA, Anaheim and Vegas up next. The Sharks on the other hand enjoy a night off before another "must win" game against the Islanders at home on Saturday night. Note that Buffalo is 14-18 (-1.6 units) in its last 32 when playing on two days rest, while San Jose is 30-20 (+5.4 units) in its last 50 after allowing four goals or more. Lay the price with confidence, play on the SHARKS.
