My Best Bet for San Jose vs St. Louis

St. Louis -1.5

The injuries dogging the Sharks are going to be a major factor in Game 6. Erik Karlsson played just over three minutes in the second period of Game 5 and had just one shift through the final 10 minutes of the game dealing with a groin issue. Martin Jones is struggling to keep the puck out of his net and the Blues’ depth continues to put a ton of pressure on the Sharks and I think ultimately puts them away tonight.
