Avalanche Visit Sharks with West One-Seed on Their Minds Friday

Avalanche working to overtake top spot in West

Colorado can move ahead of the Anaheim Ducks for the top seed in the Western Conference with a win over the Sharks on Friday night. This is the fourth and final game of the season series between these two teams, with Colorado taking two of the first three. Working against Colorado is their struggles against the Sharks on the road of late. They have dropped 11 straight regular-season road games in San Jose.

Sharks aiming for sole possession of fourth-seed

San Jose can move into the four-seed of the West all by themselves with a win over Colorado at home tonight. The Sharks have dropped two straight games overall, but have owned the Avalanche at the SAP Center of late. San Jose has lost just seven games in regulation this season, which can bode very well for them in the playoffs. The Sharks will need to play well defensively to take down the hot Avs.

With so many exciting games in the NHL tonight, the one featuring the Avalanche and the Sharks looks to be the best yet. These two teams are preparing for the playoffs and still fighting for seeding in the West standings. We are going to back the visiting Avalanche with the OVER 5.5 total goals scored at +105 at Sportsbook.ag as we drop 15 percent of our bankroll.
