San Jose appears to be a hopeless case again this season, as it has lost 20 of 24 games, and the Sharks have allowed 26 goals in their past four games. The Sharks have lost six in a row and 10 of 12 home contests. Pittsburgh has won seven of 10 against the Pacific Division and six of the past seven meetings with San Jose. The Penguins have won four in a row as favorites of -151 to -200, and the Sharks have lost 44 of 52 after losing by at least three goals their previous game. The Sharks haven't beaten Pittsburgh since Jan. 28, 2023 and since have lost four meetings by a combined score of 23-9. Alex Nedeljkovic is probable in net for Pittsburgh, which has won three of his past five starts. Yaroslav Askarov is likely for the Sharks, and he is 3-5-2 with a 3.04 goals-against average. Take the Penguins.

Pittsburgh at San Jose
10:37 PM Eastern
Pittsburgh will be anxious to bounce back from an embarrassing 6-0 loss at Los Angeles on Saturday night when Casey DeSmith and Dustin Tokarski each allowed three goals. The Penguins are likely to get Tristan Jarry back tonight after he has played in only two of the past 15 games. Jarry is 16-5-5 with a 2.65 goals-against average and .921 save percentage this season, and it will be a big mental boost for Pittsburgh. San Jose has lost five of eight and the Sharks are playing their first home game since Jan. 18. Kaapo Kahkonen is expected to start and he has a 3.69 GAA and .880 save percentage. The Penguins look to avenge a 6-4 loss to San Jose on Jan. 28 and they have gone OVER six of seven versus teams with losing records. The Sharks are 18-6-2 OVER at home and 18-7-1 OVER overall against a team that allowed at least five goals its previous game. Take the Penguins and the OVER.
