  • For the 14th time in NHL history, two California teams will meet in the playoffs when the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks kick off their first-round series Thursday. The Sharks edged the Ducks in the season series, winning three of the four games, but it was usually by the skin of their teeth. Three of the four games between the teams this year went to a shootout.

    SHARK BITES
    • The total has gone OVER in 11 of the Sharks’ last 14 games with an average combined score of 6.9 gpg.
    • The Ducks are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home against teams with winning records.
    • Martin Jones and Ryan Miller are the projected starting goalies.

    The Sharks limp into the playoffs with just one win in their last six games. That span has seen the typically strong San Jose defense allow 3.83 goals per game – a goal higher than their season average. And though top point-getters Brent Burns, Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture have all been a key part in the offense late in the season, the Sharks need someone to step up to provide secondary scoring.

    The Ducks enter the playoffs as one of the hottest teams around, winning their last five games and six of their last seven. The tough defense of the Ducks has been there – of course – but the offense has started to provide more of a spark in that span with Anaheim averaging 4.0 goals per game in its last seven.

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick

    The visiting San Jose Sharks opened as +118 moneyline underdogs in this one at most online sportsbooks tracked at OddsShark, including Sportsbook. The total opened at 5.5 for those preferring OVER/UNDER betting; watch for the line updates during the day at Sportsbook.
