The San Jose Sharks vs. Winnipeg Jets clash from Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg (7:30 p.m. ET, Amazon Prime) tonight is one of the most lopsided mismatches imaginable.

It will end poorly for the Sharks. They lost 3-2 in Calgary on Sunday night, and now San Jose faces a Jets team that's taken nine straight and 12 of its last 14.

Our Sharks vs. Jets prediction dives into the possibility of seeing six-plus goals during a comfortable Winnipeg win.

🚨 My best player prop pick: Nikolaj Ehlers 3+ shots (-128 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My best Sharks vs. Jets pick & score prediction

I'm predicting the Jets will win 5-2, hitting the Over on 5.5 goals (-130). The +125 odds on Over 6.5 goals are appealing, but I've decided to go with the safer bet. 

🏒 Over 5.5 goals ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Monday's game in Winnipeg looks like a perfect storm for the Sharks, who don't have much to be optimistic about. They have lost six in a row on the road and nine of the last 10, allowing 4.2 goals per game. Only the New York Rangers (4.38) and Boston Bruins (4.40) have conceded more in that stretch.

Overall, San Jose has the third-worst road points percentage (.293), allowing the second-most per game in enemy rinks (3.76).

Making the task at hand even more challenging, the Sharks are 1-3-2 in the second game of back-to-backs. One of those contests was in Winnipeg, where they lost 8-3 to these very Jets. Sounds like the Sharks are about to get devoured by a monstrously more formidable predator.

Meanwhile, Winnipeg - winner of nine straight - is violently swatting aside all comers.

The Jets have the second-best home points percentage (.783) and score more than Ryan Gosling in "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Their 3.70 goals per game are the fourth-most at home. If that's not daunting enough, the Jets, who are among the Stanley Cup odds favorites, allow the fewest goals per game (2.07) at Canada Life Centre. 

Hart Trophy odds contender Connor Hellebuyck should return to the Jets crease after falling one goal short at the Four Nations Face-Off. After the emotional comedown of losing to Canada, I don't expect Hellebuyck to be at his best. Fortunately for Winnipeg, he won't need to be.

Best odds: -125 via Betway (bet $10 to win $8)

🎯 Final score prediction: Jets 5, Sharks 2

The Sharks are dreadful on the road, and the Jets are one of the best on home ice. San Jose is playing on the second night of back-to-backs while the Jets have been salivating at the thought of playing the Sharks since their last game on Saturday, a 4-3 shootout win in St. Louis.  

Correct score odds: +750 via Betway (bet $10 to win $75)

💰 Nikolaj Ehlers 3+ shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ehlers hit the Over in three of the last five games. While he has at least three shots in only four of the last eight games, Ehlers is discernibly more productive in front of Jets fans at Canada Life Centre. He fired at least three shots on goal in six of the last eight home games, including the previous two.

In addition, Ehlers should be able to feast on a team that played the night before and is tied with the Chicago Blackhawks for allowing the most shots per game on the road (32.8).

Best odds: -128 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $7.84)
