The Coach's 3-Game NHL All Access Pass - House Money!
(NHL) San Jose vs. Chicago, 02/09/2016 3:30 PM, Score: 2 - 0
Total: 5.50 | 120.00 Over
Result: Win
*8* play on UNDER Sharks/Hawks.

Both teams involved in tonight's match-up at United Center are coming off high-scoring encounters Saturday as the Sharks lost 6-2 at Nashville while the Blackhawks won 5-1 at Dallas. I think goals will come a premium in tonight's contest though.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Blackhawks have won seven straight home at United Center with only a total of nine goals conceded and two shutouts. Corey Crawford has compiled a 1.59 GAA and all of his league-leading seven shutouts in 24 home starts this season.

2. Effective Penalty Kill Units - The Sharks have killed off all eight short-handed situations in February and the Hawks have surrendered only two goals over their last 18 shorthanded situations.

3. X-Factor - The under is 4-1 in the Blackhawks' last five when facing a team with a winning record.

Selection: This is a play on SJS@CHI to go UNDER the total (8*)
