These matchups took place between November 2022 and October 2023, showcasing a consistent edge for the Panthers whether playing at home or away. In terms of betting statistics, Florida has also dominated, covering the spread in two out of the three games, while San Jose managed to cover the spread once. The over/under betting results have leaned towards the under, with two games falling below the total score line set by bookmakers and only one game going over. The most recent game, played on October 24, 2023, saw the Panthers as the home favorites with a closing moneyline of -265 and a spread of -1.5, which they successfully covered.

Florida Panthers vs. San Jose Sharks Predictions

The Florida Panthers are riding high on a four-game winning streak, showcasing the resilience and skill that took them to the 2023 Stanley Cup Final. Despite an offense that hasn’t been particularly explosive this season, their recent games have seen a tightening up of their defensive play, which could spell trouble for the Sharks. The Panthers’ offense, led by Sam Reinhart with 11 goals and Matthew Tkachuk with 12 assists, will look to exploit the defensive weaknesses of a San Jose team that has been generous in conceding goals.

On the other side of the ice, the San Jose Sharks are enduring a tough season, with only two wins to their name. The Sharks have been particularly vulnerable defensively, which has contributed to their current losing streak. However, they will be relying on the leadership and playmaking abilities of Tomas Hertl, who leads the team with 8 assists and 10 points, to ignite their offense and challenge the Panthers’ goaltending. The Sharks will also need a strong performance from goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, who has struggled with a 4.00 GAA and .900 SVP so far this season.

This game will not only be a test of the Sharks’ ability to bounce back but also a chance for the Panthers to solidify their position in the Eastern Conference. Key player matchups to watch include the Panthers’ top scorer Reinhart against the Sharks’ leading point-getter Hertl, and the goaltending duel between the Panthers’ Sergei Bobrovsky, who has been solid with a .905 SVP, and the Sharks’ Blackwood. With both teams eager to prove themselves, this game could come down to which team can capitalize on their opportunities and make the most of their special teams play.

Florida Panthers vs. San Jose Sharks Pick

The San Jose Sharks may be the underdogs in this matchup, but the value lies in their moneyline bet. Despite their struggles this season, the Sharks have shown glimpses of potential, particularly in their ability to convert on power-play opportunities, as evidenced in their last encounter with the Panthers. With the Panthers’ offense not being as dominant as expected and the Sharks playing at home, there’s a chance for an upset. The Sharks’ goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, despite his less-than-ideal stats, is due for a bounce-back performance, and a strong showing could be the catalyst for a Sharks victory. Furthermore, the Sharks have managed to cover the spread once in their last three encounters with the Panthers, indicating that they can compete with Florida’s level of play.

Historically, the head-to-head has favored the Panthers, but the Sharks’ current situation makes them a hungry team desperate for wins. The Panthers are on a winning streak, which may lead to complacency, especially when facing a team with a record like San Jose’s. The Sharks’ leading scorers, such as Tomas Hertl, have the talent to exploit any lapses in the Panthers’ defense. Considering the potential high reward on the Sharks’ moneyline and the possibility of an underdog victory, betting on San Jose could prove to be a smart move for this game.

The Pick: San Jose Sharks +220. (FanDuel)
