Tim Stutzle o2.5 Shots On Goal (+125)
The Sharks rank 31st in shots on goal allowed per game. That’s good news for Tim Stutzle, who has 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.

u6.5 (-130)
Anthony Stolarz has quietly played well since returning from injury on January 23.
Stolarz ranks 18th in Goals Saved Above Expected per 60 minutes (+0.21), ahead of notables Connor Hellebuyck, Jake Oettinger, Spencer Knight and Lukas Dostal.
Minnesota Wild netminder Jesper Wallstedt has been downright elite over the same period, posting a +0.88 GSAE. That’s the 4th best mark in the NHL.
The goaltending should be good in this game, and the absence of Auston Matthews removes some of the firepower needed to capitalize.
Kirill Kaprizov o0.5 Goals Scored (+105)
