San Jose +210 over Utah

Delta Center – Salt Lake City, UT

9:00 PM ET. OT included. The market’s made up its mind about San Jose, and the verdict is harsh. The Sharks are winless, missing a few defensemen, and already being written off as the league’s worst team. That’s exactly when we pounce.

San Jose’s 0-1-2 record looks grim on paper, yet two of those three games went past regulation, and they’ve been more competitive than the headlines suggest. The problem isn’t effort — it’s bounces, finishing, and a blue line that’s been rotating in and out since opening night. The oddsmakers see Timothy Liljegren on IR and John Klingberg listed as day-to-day and immediately hang a number north of +200 like this is a non-NHL roster. It’s not.

Ryan Warsofsky’s team isn’t lacking structure or goaltending; they’re lacking confidence. You can hear it in the coach’s postgame comments — he’s not lamenting talent, he’s lamenting mindset. “We’ve got to get rid of the losing mentality.” That’s not the sound of panic, it’s the sound of a team that knows it’s been in every game and needs one break to flip the switch.

Now, on the other side, we’ve got Utah — a shiny expansion with a 3-1 win in its first home game. Cue the hype. They opened the renovated Delta Center, the crowd was loud, and everyone’s thrilled. Yet beneath that noise, the facts are much quieter: they’ve scored seven goals in four games, two of them into empty nets. They were the better side for two periods against Calgary, then hung on for dear life in the third. That’s not dominance; that’s survival.

This number is inflated by optics. The Mammoth are “the new thing,” the Sharks “the old problem.” But hockey doesn’t care about narratives — it cares about puck luck, shot volume, and goaltending, and all three point toward San Jose being live here.
