| NHL | (17) San Jose Sharks at (18) Washington Capitals: Moneyline | 7:07pm EST - Jan 15/2026 |
The PLAY: San Jose Sharks 152
Washington is coming off a 3-2 win over Montreal in their previous game. However, The Capitals are an abysmal 0-7 on the money line in their last 7 after winning their previous game. Washington has won 2 in a row since 12/3/2025.
San Jose is coming off a disappointing 7-2 home loss to division rival Last Vegas in their previous game. Even with that blowout loss, the Sharks are still 3-1 in the last 4 and 6-2 during their previous 8 games on the money line. San Jose will also be out to revenge a 7-1 home loss to Washington earlier this season. The Sharks power play has been red-hot throughout their previous 6 games while going 9-24 (37.5%) with the man advantage.
All NHL teams like San Jose that are playing with same season revenge stemming for a loss by 4 goals or more, and they're coming off a division loss by 4 goals or more in their last game, resulted in those teams 53-38 (58.2%) on the money line. Those 81 teams' average money line was +134. Although the (58.2%) win rate isn't overly impressive the ROI was extremely profitable due to the average money line in those exact situation.
Bet on the San Jose Sharks as a money line underdog of +140 or higher.
