Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:SJ +1.5 puck line★★★★

A dog that keeps it close

San Jose has stayed within a goal in two of their last five, and the puck line pays you for a one-goal loss.

The number

At +1.5 a regulation loss by one still cashes; only a two-goal defeat, empty-netter included, beats it.

The decider

Askarov is the weaker net narrowly right now — stopping about eight of ten, well off his own baseline — so San Jose's side of the scoreboard is the one likely to move.

The context

Both clubs are losing, but they are losing differently: Detroit's games are ordinary, San Jose's are quiet. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. San Jose is putting 25.8 shots a game on net and finishing 10.3% of them.

Situational

San Jose is on the second night of a back-to-back; Detroit is on the second night of a back-to-back — a notch toward the under.

What breaks this

Their last meeting went at a 6-goal pace. Askarov has been the weak link; another soft night sinks it.
