San Jose has won two straight since the league's hiatus after beating Philadelphia 3-2 in overtime on Thursday following a wild, 8-7 shootout victory over Arizona two nights before. Tomas Hertl scored with 31 seconds left in OT to back James Reimer, who had 23 saves against the Flyers. The Sharks will try to end a seven-game winning streak by Pittsburgh, which hasn't played since Dec. 19. San Jose has won the last four meetings, although this will be the first one this season. Casey DeSmith is probable in net for the Penguins and is 2-3-1 with a 3.04 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage in limited action this season. The Sharks have scored 11 goals their last two games while allowing nine, and the OVER is 11-5-2 in Pittsburgh's past 18 Sunday games. Play the Sharks and the OVER.
