Colorado Avalanche at San Jose Sharks
When: Wednesday, May 8, 9:00 p.m. ET
Where: SAP Center, San Jose, California
Betting Line: San Jose -140 / 5.5 Goals
Colorado Avalanche Notes
The Avalanche needed only two minutes and 32 seconds to find the game-winning goal in overtime of Game 6 as Gabriel Landeskog fired a bouncing puck past Martin Jones to give Colorado a 4-3 win at home. With the win, Colorado moved to a perfect 15-0 in its last 15 games when scoring at least three goals.
Comparatively, the Avalanche are 0-10 in their last 10 games when scoring two goals or less; the path to victory for this team is clearly tied to the production of the offense.
Since March 17, Colorado is 15-7 on the moneyline per the OddsShark NHL Database. Four of those seven losses have come against the Sharks.
San Jose Sharks Notes
Marc-Edouard Vlasic brought a hush over the Pepsi Center in Game 6 with his game-tying goal late in the third period, but that silence was only temporary as the Sharks were unable to score a game-winner to end this series.
So they return to San Jose for Game 7 where they are 2-1 in this series and 6-2 in their last eight overall. The Sharks are also 8-4 in their last 12 home games in the postseason.
Avalanche at Sharks Betting Total
Wednesday’s total is set at 5.5 goals at online betting sites. The OVER is 6-1 in San Jose’s last seven playoff home games.
Four of the first six games in this series have had at least six total goals scored with three landing on exactly seven. This has been an exciting and fast-paced series, but only one of these teams can move on to the Western Conference final.
After San Jose’s comeback from down 3-0 to win 5-4 in overtime in its Game 7 against the Vegas Golden Knights in the last round, it will be interesting to see what the Sharks will do for an encore.
