Stars Have Had Major Edge in Series With Sharks

Thanks to six wins in their last seven games, the Dallas Stars are surging up the Central Division standings and have become a reliable wager in the process. The Stars will look to keep up their red-hot pace on the road against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.

Sportsbook opened the Sharks as slight -101 home favorites with a total of 5.5.

Shark Bites
  • The UNDER is 7-2 in the Sharks last nine games.
  • The OVER is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings between the Sharks and Stars.
  • The Stars are 3-9 SU in the last 12 meetings with the Sharks in San Jose.

Dallas is beginning a three-game California swing in which goaltender Ben Bishop will be heavily relied on. Bishop has gone 3-1-0 in his last four outings and is expected to get the start in today’s contest. The Stars have straight-up dominated San Jose of late, as Dallas is 6-1-1 in its last eight meetings with the Sharks.

San Jose net minder Martin Jones has been stopping the puck at a rapid pace but his team hasn’t helped him out. Jones owns a .941 save percentage over his last seven games but is 3-3-1 in that stretch. Sharks forward Tomas Hertl missed Thursday’s game against the Canucks and is questionable to play in this one.

When the Sharks and Stars collide in California, the OVER is cashing. In the last four meetings between the clubs in San Jose, the OVER is 4-0.
