San Jose Sharks - Calgary Flames - NHL

We turn our focus to the NHL: San Jose Sharks (25-14-2) and Calgary Flames (22-19-2) will meet face to face tonight. The game will start at 9:30 p.m. EST at Scotiabank Saddledome, and will be aired on SN, SN1, CSN-CA, NHL.TV.  The Sharks are coming off a 5-3 win over the Oilers yesterday, a game we won. Goalie A. Dell could start when San Jose completes a 2-game road trip after M. Jones made 33 saves in Edmonton. Dell, who last started Dec. 30, is 4-1-0 with a 1.78 goals-against average and .936 save % this season. A win against Calgary would put the Sharks in sole possession of first in the Pacific Division. Sharks are 4th in "Goals Against" and 11th in "Penalty Kill %". The Flames had an off-day Tuesday. In their last game, they lost on Monday 0-2 from the Jets. Calgary is 5-3-0 in their last 8 games and 12-6-0 in their last 18. Johnson (14-9-1, 2.27 GAA, .922 save %) is expected to start. Calgary is 16th in "Penalty Kill %". The official Las Vegas G. line O/U is (5.0 Goals), a hint to a low scoring game. With that said, I pick the "Alternative Total 2-Way" option @BET365: Under 6.5 Goals 1.37(-265).

UPDATE January 12, 2017 - FINAL Result: San Jose Sharks  2-3  Calgary Flames. The Flames defeated the Sharks 3-2 at Scotiabank Saddledome last night. Dougie Hamilton scored with 2:19 remaining; Johnson saved a breakaway with 8 seconds left to lift the Calgary to a "W". Johnson, made 25 saves, also stopped Boedker on a penalty shot at 14:33 of the 3rd period. Both teams scored 5 goals total, below of our forecast of Under 6.5 Gls., and our Bet was a winner.
