Against the spread/ATS: Sharks +1.5 (-150) | Avalanche -1.5 (+125)Over/Under: 6 (O: -120 | U: +100)Sharks at Avalanche: Projected starting goalies
Martin Jones (3-1-0, 3.06 GAA, .894 SV%) at Philipp Grubauer (3-2-0, 2.01 GAA, .923 SV%, 1 SO)
Jones has posted three victories in four outings, but offensive support has been the name of the game. He has allowed three or more goals in three of his outings. The good news is that he has picked up two victories in two shootouts, standing tall in the extra sessions.
Grubauer started off shaky with four goals allowed on 32 shots in an opening-season loss to the St. Louis Blues Jan. 13. Since then, he has coughed up just six total goals in four starts. His only loss during the span was last time out against the Anaheim Ducks, surrendering two goals on just 14 shots a 3-1 setback Sunday.

Sharks at Avalanche: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Avalanche 5, Sharks 3
Money line (ML)
The Avalanche (-225) will cost you more than two times your potential return on home ice, and that’s not a good long-term betting strategy. AVOID and look to the puck line instead.
Against the spread (ATS)
COLORADO -1.5 (+125) is a good bet on home ice. Sure, only one of Jones’ three victories covered the puck line, but he is due. Jones has been very giving, and Colorado will get to him for several goals. The Sharks have struggled in Denver, winning just twice in the past seven tries, and the home team is 37-14 in the previous 51 meetings.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 6 (-120) is generally the rule when these teams hook up, going 18-7-3 in the past 28 meetings. In addition, the Over has hit in four of six for the Sharks, while going 1-1 in two home games for the Avalanche. Colorado has actually had some difficulty finding the back of the net, which is surprising given its depth up front. Eventually the Avs will break out, and I think they have a good chance to score plenty against Jones.

Jordan Binnington (8-6-2, 2.49 GAA, .914 SV%) vs. Devan Dubnyk (1-3-1, 2.88 GAA, .910 SV%)
Binnington enters on a three-game losing skid, allowing a total of 9 goals across his past three outings. That includes 5 goals allowed on just 27 shots against the Sharks last Saturday. That outing followed a 3-2 overtime win against San Jose. He is 2-1-1 with a 2.93 GAA and .902 SV% in four starts against the Sharks this season.
Dubnyk relieved starter Martin Jones against the Minnesota Wild Monday and stopped 12 of the 13 shots he faced. His last completed game was a win over the Blues last Saturday in which he turned aside 28 of 32 shots.

Blues at Sharks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Sharks 3, Blues 2
Money line (ML)
Back the home underdogs, as the SHARKS (+135) have played the Blues tough all season. They’re 2-1-1 against the Blues so far, and all of the games were decided by one goal.
St. Louis is also just 1-4 in its past five games as a favorite, and 1-4 in its previous five against teams with a losing record, too.

Against the spread (ATS)
The SHARKS +1.5 (-200) are not as great of a value on the puck line, but they’re worth pursuing since all four meetings this season have been decided by a ginle goal, including one overtime decision and a shootout.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 5.5 (-105) is the lean in this battle as the trends for both sides lately point to an Under.
The Under is 4-1 in the past five games for the Blues while going 7-2 in their past nine as road favorites. Binnington allowed exactly 1 goal in each of his last three road starts, too.
