San Jose Sharks        

The Sharks swim into tonight’s contest sporting a 25-13-7 record that nets them 57 points on the season. That 57 point tally ranks San Jose 3^rd overall in the Pacific Division. Although they’ve built up a decent lead over the 4^th seeded Anaheim Ducks, the Sharks can still vie for the No. 1 spot in the division. Right now that title belongs to the Calgary Flames, who have 60 on the year. With a decent win streak, San Jose can surely land that top spot. Unfortunately for San Jose, the NHL hockey betting odds are pegging them as an underdog this evening versus Las Vegas. This is to be expected, given that the Sharks are 3-6-1 in their last 10 versus Vegas

Players to Watch: Brent Burns (8 G, 41 A, 49 PTS.), Logan Couture (16 G, 26 A, 42 PTS.), and Erik Karlsson (3 G, 38 A, 41 PTS.).

Vegas Golden Knights 

The Knights enter tonight’s matchup sporting a 27-15-4 record. With 58 points on the season, Vegas is ranked 2^nd overall in the Pacific Division. Given their lengthy win streak, it makes sense that Vegas would be pegged as the favorite this evening. . But what do the numbers have to say about this pairing? Interestingly enough, it’s an all-around decent matchup. The Sharks come in with a better offense but a weaker defense. They currently rank 4^th in scoring and 18^th in defense. On the other hand, Vegas ranks 13^th in scoring and 3^rd in defense. This should make for some great hockey this evening.

Players to Watch: Alex Tuch (14 G, 20 A, 30 PTS.), Jonathan Marchessault (14 G, 17 A, 31 PTS.), and William Karlsson (15 G, 15 A, 30 PTS.).
