Over/Under: 6 (O: -120 U: +100)Golden Knights at Sharks: Projected starting goalies
Marc-Andre Fleury (11-3-0, 1.71 GAA, .939 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Martin Jones (7-6-1, 3.72 GAA, .884 SV%)
Fleury has started 10 consecutive games since G Robin Lehner (3-1-1, 2.96, .890) has been sidelined with an upper-body injury. “Flower” is on a 4-game win streak, recently beating the visiting Minnesota Wild 5-1 Wednesday when he stopped 36 of 37 shots. The 3-time Stanley Cup champion is 1-0 vs. the Sharks this season, yielding just one goal against 27 shots in a 3-1 road victory in mid-February.
Jones was in net for San Jose’s last two games, surrendering six Colorado goals on 73 shots. He started the Sharks’ one game against the Golden Knights this season – the 3-1 loss to Fleury – and yielded one goal in each period while turning back 26 shots. The eight-year veteran went 0-2 vs. the Knights last season with a 4.80 GAA and .862 SV%.

Golden Knights at Sharks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Golden Knights 4, Sharks 1
Money line (ML)
Back VEGAS (-200) with a HALF-UNIT wager. I prefer not to bet money line favorites higher than -180, but the Knights are rolling and worth the heavy juice.
The Knights allow 2.11 goals per game to rank second in the league, while the Sharks yield 3.80 goals per game to rank 30th.
Offensively, the Knights score 3.21 goals per game to rank 10th, compared to the Sharks’ 2.75 goals per game (20th).
Plus, the Knights are 4-2-0 on the road and 7-3 overall in their last 10. The Sharks are 2-4-0 at home and 4-5-1 overall in their last 10.

Against the spread (ATS)
Bet another HALF-UNIT on VEGAS (-1.5, +125). Only 1 game in the last 5 meetings between these two was decided by one goal. In the last 10, three games were decided by one goal.
The worry is that the Knights are on the road and feature a below-.500 ATS mark.
ATS records: Golden Knights 8-11 Sharks 10-10
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 6 (+100) is the way to go. The Knights and Sharks played to a 3-1 final the last time they faced off … and with the same tenders in net.
The Under is 5-0 in Fleury’s five road starts this season, while he features a 1.19 road GAA.
If the line drops to 5.5, this becomes a HALF-UNIT play.
O/U: Golden Knights 10-9 Sharks 12-8
Note: There is no STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager – on this card.
