The under is 5-1 in the last six meetings between the Philadelphia Flyers and the San Jose Sharks, and I predict another low-scoring affair here on Wednesday.

The Sharks' netminder Martin Jones finished last season with a 2.40 GAA and a .912 save percentage and he has a 2.27 GAA through four seasons in the NHL. The Flyers Brian Elliott posted a 2.55 GAA with a .910 save percentage with Calgary last season. I still like him to keep the Sharks at bay here in the first game of the season. We can also note that under was 8-1 in San Jose's nine games last October.

It's hard to say where the teams stand here in the first game of the season, but I think low-scoring games are likely.

My selection is an 8* play on Under.
