Sharks vs Flames prediction

Neither the Sharks nor Flames have anything to play for here, so it’s all about motivation and who wants to be here. With that said, the Sharks are liquid garbage and shouldn’t be backed in any shape or form. The Flames are a decent team that just fell short of a playoff berth, and you’d think they’d want to go out with a win in front of their home fans. The Flames have also won 6 of the last 7 games against the Sharks. Again, the Sharks are dog water. Give me the Flames and the PL for max betting value.
