#17 ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Florida Panthers Puck Line (-1.5 goals +100) over San Jose Sharks, Tuesday at 10:30 PM ET - The Sharks are, by far, the worst team in the league so far this season. San Jose is 2-12-1 but what is particularly alarming about the record is the shots on goal stats in the two wins!  The Sharks could easily be winless on the season as their 2-1 win over the Flyers saw the Sharks outshot by a 39-19 margin.  The 3-2 win over Edmonton saw San Jose outshot by a 41-18 margin!  Also, their 12 losses in regulation have all come by a multi-goal margin! In fact, the average margin of defeat for the Sharks in those dozen losses is 4 goals per game!  The Sharks are being outshot 38.4 to 24.1 on the season!  This is incredible how they are being outplayed night after night and now they must deal with a red hot Panthers team that has won 4 straight games and 9 of 12.  Of course this is why Florida is priced as a heavy money line favorite on the road here but we get the value on the puck line.  Remember, San Jose has 13 losses this season and all 12 of the losses that were in regulation were all by at least 2 goals!  Florida is scoring 3.14 goals per game this season while the Sharks are averaging just 1.20 goals per game on the season!  San Jose has been held to 2 or less goals in 11 of 12 games and Florida is averaging 4 goals per game during their 4-game winning streak.  4 to 2 or 4 to 1 sounds about right here and all signs point to the Panthers handing the Sharks another defeat by a multi-goal margin. Laying the 1.5 goals with road favorite Florida at an even money price in this one is the value play here.
