The Skinny
It’s a big night in the NHL as two series will come to a close bringing us ever closer to the second round. The Sharks will face the Golden Knights at the Shark Tank and will look to do what they couldn’t do last year. Vegas has but up an extremely good fight but ever since the VGK shutout in game 4, the Sharks goaltending has come into its own. Normally We wouldn’t bet against G Marc-Andre Fleury of the Knights, seeing as he is one of the best goaltenders the league has ever seen, but the Sharks have been able to get quality tending out of their net-minders down the stretch here. We have to go with San Jose tonight, especially with F Tomas Hertl absolutely ripping it up left and right. . . . As for the Leafs vs Bruins tilt, it’s just simply too close to call. The only thing we are confident in is that they will score in bunches. It’s looking to be a high event game so we will rock the over.
