Any thoughts on NJ? Not laying too big of a number at -140 and goaliepost is showing rookie Greiss going against Brodeur. San Jose is in the midst of a 4 game losing streak and on their 3rd game of an 8 game road trip. Granted, the first three are in New York/NJ with the 4th being tomorrow night in Philly, but still a road trip.
Seems that they may be tossing the rook to the wolves tonight in an attempt to get a W tomorrow night against a Philly team who has been bad.
The other tidbit, which was interesting to me is that the Sharks losing streak started the game after Marleau got hurt. I've mentioned before I don't know anything about hockey beyond the basic rules and stats analysis, so I am not sure what the impact of this is. However, I did notice that he has 3 PPG and 11 PPA, and I infer that he may be a contributor to their PP team(he apparently logs quite a few minutes there.) The Sharks PP has not scored in 3 of 4 games(only 1 in 22m) without Marleau, while having scored in 5 straight games prior to the injury on the PP.
So, someone with hockey knowledge comment on this to see what my stat analysis means.
