Sharks vs Senators prediction
Sharks vs Senators best bet: Tim Stuzle Over 2.5 shots (+125)
The San Jose Sharks rank 31st in shots on goal allowed per game. That’s good news for Tim Stutzle, who's feasted on poor shot suppression teams all season.
Stutzle has averaged 3.5 shots on target and cleared his line 71% of the time against Bottom-10 shot suppression sides
The numbers are even more eye-popping on home ice, where Stutzle has generated 4.1 shots per game.
He registered four shots on eight attempts in his previous meeting with the Sharks, who happen to rank dead last in shots allowed to centers over their last 10.

Sharks vs Senators same-game parlay
Drake Batherson has posted higher assist rates when playing with Stutzle and Claude Giroux than any other combination of forwards.
Given Stutzle’s shot-generation prowess, particularly against bad defensive teams, Batherson should rack up plenty of potential assists.
The Senators have won 10 of their last 13, with all three losses coming against teams comfortably in playoff position. They should handle a Sharks team playing its fourth road game in six nights.
