#35/36 ASA PLAY ON 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 Goals - San Jose Sharks at Florida Panthers, Thursday at 7 PM ET - The Panthers just hammered the Lightning 7-1 on home ice Monday night. This is a tough spot for the Florida defense and goaltending to be in top form (coming off huge win over in-state divisional rival TB) and they should allow plenty of goals again tonight as a result. However, they can take advantage of facing a Sharks team that gives up plenty of goals. San Jose enters this one having allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 20 games. Sharks have scored 4 goals per game last 4 games too! San Jose has been on a long stretch in which almost all their games have totaled at least 7 goals. Sharks 16 of 20 games have totaled at least 7 goals. Prior to a 4-3 OT win at Tampa Bay Tuesday, 6 of the last 8 Sharks games that did total at least 7 goals did reach the 8-goal mark. So yes this is a big total with 7 goals being the posted number in most books. However, don't be surprised if this game gets to 3-3 at some point. Therefore, we look for a final tally of at least 7 in this one! Of course the goal is never a push with a bet but the fact is we get some added insurance here with 7 being a push rather than a loss. Given all the numbers involving these clubs once could easily argue the posted total should be 7.5 goals in this one! Taking a look at Florida's numbers entering this one, the Panthers have had 8 straight games total at least 7 goals and 6 of those 8 did total at least 8 goals! Look for yet another one to reach at least the 8-goal mark here! Over is our play in this one.
