The Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks clash tonight in the Shark Tank.
San Jose has looked weak to open the season. Through nine games, they have just two wins. They took the Rangers to overtime and shut out the Flyers to land those two victories. Their record likely won't improve by playing the powerhouse that is Toronto.
The Maple Leafs are not having the start to the year they were hoping for. They've played seven games and have only come away with four wins. While they are over .500, they'll be hungry for a win after losing to the Golden Knights on Monday.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. San Jose Sharks Best Picks
Erik Kallgren is making his second start of the season between the pipes. He had a rough outing his last time out against the Phoenix Coyotes. He went 15 for 18 and picked up an L.
He's twenty-six and playing in his first full season; last year, he started just twelve games. Nevertheless, Toronto has high hopes for the Swede and are throwing him in to pick up what should be an easy win.
While his save percentage against Phoneix was unimpressive, it was his first game of the year, and he should perform better tonight.
With Toronto's defense, the Sharks will put less than thirty goals on net, maybe less than twenty. The defense will work hard to make Kallgren's job easy.
Erik Kallgren Over 25.5 Saves (-110)
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. San Jose Sharks Prediction
This is an easy game to bet. The Leafs are the vastly superior team, they're coming off a tough loss and looking for an easy rebound. It's going to be an ugly scene in the Shark Tank.
San Jose fans should stay away, as it is going to be a blood bath. ALT spreads are very much in play for this one. The Leafs will have their way, and they're going to make it extremely hard for the Sharks to score. So don't overthink it; it's an easy play and free money.
Toronto -1.5 (+116)
