Stephen Nover's NHL Early Start Discount Totals Casher - 7-2 NHL Run
(NHL) Vegas vs. San Jose,
Total: 6.00 | -125.00 Over
Result: Loss
The Sharks have some decent scorers and attacking defensemen. They also have a porous defense and are terrible in net. The result has been 67 percent of their games have gone Over this season.
I see another Over in this matchup. It's the Sharks' first home game of the season - and they draw Las Vegas. This already has become a heated rivalry. A lot of penalties, both teams going all out and the possibility of running up a score would not surprise me in this matchup. 
Despite being shut out 1-0 by the Ducks in their last game this past Thursday, the Golden Knights rank No. 2 in the NHL in scoring at 3.7 goals. Until that defeat, the Golden Knights had scored 4 or more goals in each of their last four games. 
The Sharks rank 28th defensively. They've permitted 3 or more goals in seven of their last eight games. Goalie Martin Jones has been horrendous this season. He's likely to be in net again for the Sharks because backup Devan Dubnyk is dealing with a lower-body injury.
