Canucks vs. Sharks: Prediction Odds, Lines, and Picks - December 7 | NHL Regular Season
The Vancouver Canucks head to San Jose for a one-game road trip.
It's a matchup against Pacific Division rivals, and only the Anaheim Ducks are padding the bottom of the division for these teams. While both teams have just been horrible this season, Vancouver has hit a bit of a hot streak.
Vancouver have won seven of their last ten games, and San Jose have lost eight of their last ten. Despite this tremendous streak, Vancouver still holds a record of just 11-12-2-1.
However, with Vancouver losing Thatcher Demko, it'll be interesting to see how their season progresses. Can Vancouver keep this streak going or will it all fall apart without their number one goalie? They could make a good run if they have finally found their stride in the season or if this stretch will just be a cute footnote in the season.

Canucks vs. Sharks Best Picks
With Spencer Martin in net, the over becomes a great play tonight.
Vancouver has been scoring at an incredible rate, averaging almost four goals per game over their past ten. Playing a horrible San Jose team, they could score five or six times themselves.
Martin is not the stud Demko is, so he'll allow a few goals for sure, so in what could be an incredibly high-scoring game, the over is a lock tonight.
Over 6.5 Goals (-118)
Canucks vs. Sharks Prediction
Vancouver is hot, and they are currently the unbeatable team in the Pacific Division. As long as they are rolling like this, there is no reason to bet against them.
San Jose will receive more of an edge than they usually would, with Vancouver sending Martin out in the net as Demko sustained an injury that will have him on the IL for a month. This could be a turning point in sending them back to their losing ways, but maybe Martin will step up in a big way.
San Jose should be glad they play in a division with the Anaheim Ducks, as they would be the punching bag if it were not for them. The Ducks will give the Sharks quite a few opportunities to be a favorite this season.
