Unfortunately for the NHL Betting fan, there is a serious lack of flow in these games \u2013 too many shorthanded situations and not enough 5 on five time \u2013 Come on refs! Let the boys play! But I digress.<\/p>\n<p>The San Jose Sharks will be looking to stay alive on Tuesday night when they travel to Vancouver where they have already lost twice in the postseason. They are coming off a 4-3 loss in a game in which they surrendered a total of 13 shots on goal \u2013 13!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for San Jose, Joe Thornton, despite vowing to play is likely not 100% and without him, the Sharks are cooked! Dany Heatley, Devin Setoguchi and Joe Pavelski have been brutal &#8211; they\u2019ve combined for only 3 assists in the series so far.  <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px; border: 5px solid #CCCCCC;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>San Jose\u2019s goaltending cannot be blamed for any of the losses so far in the series but it hasn\u2019t stolen any game so far. Antti Niemi has to be a whole lot better or the Sharks are in some trouble.<\/p>\n<p>The Vancouver Canucks proved that their killer instinct on the power play was back. After losing Game 3 because of missed opportunities the Power Play  (the best in the NHL during the Regular Season) came alive and did all of the damage. Henrik Sedin has an incredible 10 points on the series, the defense is looking lethal in the offensive as well as in their own zone and the Canucks are still effectively rolling all of their lines \u2013 they look damn good! A shout out to the Penalty Killers as well.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to believe that Luongo hasn\u2019t been a major topic of discussion. He has been solid and hopeful by now has won over all of his doubters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NHL Betting Trends:<\/strong><br \/>\nOver is 13-3-1 in SJ last 17 road games.<br \/>\nSJ are 2-6 in their last 8 overall.<br \/>\nSJ are 2-6 in their last 8 vs. Western Conference.<br \/>\nUnder is 7-2-1 in VAN last 10 Tue. games.<br \/>\nVAN are 16-5 in their last 21 vs. Pacific.<br \/>\nUnder is 9-3-1 in VAN last 13 home games.<br \/>\nOver is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Prediction<\/strong>: Ahead of Game 5 there are a few question marks for the Canucks. They have been shorthanded a startling 10 times in each of the past two games! They&#8217;re 2-4 in potential closeout games this postseason and 0-2 in Game 5s. They are just 3-9 in their last 12 Game 5s! Canucks fans are all too familiar.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I am as tempted by San Jose -175 as you are but consider that Vancouver has not had their best game yet. Other than discipline, everything seems to be clicking for the Vancouver Canucks. Once they clean up the stupid penalties the Sharks will be outclassed. My bet is that the Sharks lose their composure before Vancouver does on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Vancouver Canucks -175 and the Over -5.5 goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hey!
