Philadelphia at San Jose

The Sharks are back to playing terrible defense. They have allowed 17 goals in their last three games. San Jose ranks 31st defensively, allowing an average of 3.6 goals per game. The Sharks struggle to limit scoring chances. They are permitting an average of 30 shots on goal per game, which ranks 31st. The Flyers are opportunistic on offense and have been tremendously consistent in their scoring on the road. Philadelphia has notched at least three goals in 10 of its last 11 away games. The Flyers are averaging 3.8 goals a game during their past 11 road contests. San Jose had nothing left against the Sabres this past Thursday in a 5-0 home loss. That was because the Sharks had just returned following a five-game/eight-day road trip. The Sharks had averaged 3.6 goals a game in their previous five games. San Jose is not facing such daunting fatigue in this game. Take the OVER.
