After playing seven consecutive games against Arizona, the Blues drop down in defensive class and get the Sharks. San Jose ranks 29th defensively giving up 3.7 goals per game. The Sharks have permitted three or more goals in 11 of their 14 games this season. 
The Blues rank seventh in scoring at 3.4 goals a game. However, their defense has been disappointing ranking 20th allowing 3.1 goals a game. St. Louis ranks in the bottom-five in penalty killing. The Over has won in five of the Blues' last six home games. 
The Sharks have been down defensemen Erik Karlsson and Radim Simek. Karlsson has been a huge disappointment this season. The Sharks are better off now with star defenseman Brent Burns running point on their power play than Karlsson.
