Pittsburgh Penguins Betting Analysis

This season, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been a slightly above-average team, ranking 14th in the NHL (26-17-9 for 61 points). Through mid-December, they were solid, going 18-8-4, but since then, they’ve limped to a pedestrian 8-9-5 record in their last 22 contests. In the first two tilts in California, they dispatched the Ducks 6-3, but then fell flat on their face 6-0 to the Kings.

For the campaign, the Pens are 14th in scoring, 18th in goals allowed, 17th on the PP, and 12th on the PK, displaying why they’re a middling franchise. They’re also a far better home squad, going 15-6-4, compared to 11-11-5 away from home. Pittsburgh has dropped five of their last six games on the road (1-2-3).

San Jose Sharks Betting Analysis

There’s no other way to slice it – the San Jose Sharks have been a dumpster fire this season. They’re playing their first game on home ice in their last nine, having gone 3-3-2 on their road trip. You’d think that playing in the friendly confines would be helpful for them, but the Sharks are actually a disastrous 5-12-7 in San Jose (compared to 12-14-4 on the road).

The Sharks are 20th in scoring and 21st on the PP. They’re also fourth worst in keeping pucks out of their own net – here’s the weird stat though, San Jose has the fourth-best penalty kill.

The Sharks are 1-6 in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record. The over has also hit in five of six of their battles against the Metropolitan Division.

The Penguins are in a heated battle for a playoff spot, while San Jose is going nowhere. They’re also playing with uncertainty, given that top forward Timo Meier is on the trade block, along with blueliner Erik Karlsson. The over is 12-2-2 in San Jose’s last 16 games as a home underdog.
