San Jose just lost two of three (all at home) and scored eight goals. The offense has slipped to 18th in goals per game (3.04) and 15th on the power play. San Jose is a young, electrifying team that may have overachieved this season. In recent losses, they've looked gassed and haven't generated the high-quality scoring chances this team used to spark highlight reels earlier this season. The Sharks are now on a 19-12-1 run UNDER the total, and their lack of depth is showing. Anaheim has lost six in a row, netting just 14 goals. An upper-body injury to leading scorer Cutter Gauthier has not helped, as he has been out of the lineup since March 30. The offense ranks 25th on the power play and 24th in shooting percentage. We're getting a good price on this total based on midseason performance. Play San Jose/Anaheim UNDER the total.
