Sharks Have Beaten the Leafs Seven Straight Times

This may be a different Leafs team than the one the Sharks dominated 7-0 last year but the Maple Buds still have plenty of holes in their roster and will be home underdogs to the Stanley Cup runners-up this evening when they host San Jose at the Air Canada Centre.

SHARK BITES
  • The Sharks are 7-0 in their last 7 games against the Maple Leafs.
  • The Maple Leafs are 8-2 in their last 10 games after losing the previous game in a matchup.
  • The Sharks are 21-7 in their last 28 games as a moneyline favorite of -112 or less.

Toronto has been a pretty decent bet at home this season but the Leafs will be hosting one of the best teams in the league tonight as they look for just their second win in their last six games. The Sharks have slowly been climbing the standings in the Pacific Division and if everything goes their way, they could be sitting on top come Wednesday morning.

A bet to target tonight is the UNDER as a normally volatile Leafs team has posted five straight UNDERs and the Sharks are the best UNDER team in the show. The Sharks have been breaching the total more often than they did in the first quarter of the season but they are still extremely disciplined on defense and have not quite found their scoring touch.
