Sharks vs Canadiens best bet: Cole Caufield to score (+130)
Cole Caufield’s 37 goals are tied for third-most in the NHL this season behind only Nathan MacKinnon (44) and Kirill Kaprizov (38), but the Montreal Canadiens forward has actually been the best scorer in the league down the stretch.
Since the calendar flipped to 2026, Caufield leads the league with 18 goals in 24 games, scoring in 10 of his last 16 outings.
At the other end of the rink, the San Jose Sharks are floundering with just four wins in their last 12 games while giving up 3.67 goals per game — tied for the fourth-most in the NHL over that span.
