The Detroit Red Wings (7-9-1) take on the San Jose Sharks (5-10-4) Monday. Puck drop from SAP Center is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NHL odds around the Red Wings vs. Sharksodds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Wings enter the Shark Tank losers of 3 of 4. Their last setback was Saturday in a 4-1 loss as -175 underdogs at the LA Kings with the Under (5.5) hitting. C Dylan Larkin scored his 10th goal of the season, but it was a bit too late, trimming the deficit to 3-1 with 1:27 to go. He has 5 goals in 7 November games.
The Sharks lost their third straight Saturday in a 4-3 shootout defeat at the Pittsburgh Penguins. San Jose was a +158 underdog and the Over (6.5) came through. San Jose battled back from a 3-0 deficit in the second period to steal a point by tying it and getting to overtime. LW Tyler Toffoli scored his 7th and 8th goals of the season in the loss. The Sharks return home after going 1-1-2 on a 4-game road trip.

Talbot stopped 37 of 40 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Kings Saturday. He is 3-2-0 with a 1.81 GAA and .941 SV% in 5 November starts. He hasn't faced San Jose for a couple of years, and he was chased after allowing 4 goals on 7 shots in 25 minutes.
Blackwood came on in relief in the Saturday game against the Pens, and he stopped 25 of 26 shots. He is 1-2-1 with a 1.90 GAA and .947 SV% in 4 games this month. He faced Detroit once last season and was chased after 33 minutes, allowing 4 goals on 20 shots.
The Sharks have won 2 of the last 5 meetings, and 3 of those went into OT. San Jose is young, and it's an exciting squad that can light the lamp. This is much closer to a pick 'em for me, and I'll take the value with SHARKS (+125).
BET TYLER TOFFOLI OVER 2.5 SHOTS ON GOAL (-125). He's coming off a 2-goal game, and he'll be feeling good. He has 4+ shots in 2 of the last 3 games. It's a fair value for me.
Detroit is 7-10-0 O/U, and San Jose is 7-10-2. I like the way both goaltenders are performing this month. Neither offense is really clicking.
BET UNDER 6 (-110), but go easily here.
