Hungry Sharks may have too much bite for new-look Flyers

Philadelphia at San Jose
Premier Sports, 3.30am Wednesday night

San Jose begin life without veteran forward Patrick Marleau but field an otherwise little-changed line-up against Philadelphia.

The Flyers are a team in transition with a mix of experience and youth including second overall draft pick Nolan Patrick.

They have won just once in their last 11 trips to San Jose though, and the Sharks look the safer bet.

Recommendation
San Jose
1pt 4-6 bet365, Betway, Sky Bet

St Louis at Pittsburgh
Premier Sports, 1am Wednesday night

Pittsburgh begin their quest for a third straight Stanley Cup title against a St Louis side already facing an offensive injury crisis.

Blues goalie Jake Allen will have to be at his best but was a Jekyll and Hyde character last year.

Jake Guentzel has found a home in the Penguins top-six forwards and is worth a bet to find the net.

Recommendation
J Guentzel to score at any time
1pt 15-8 Hills
