Kiefer Sherwood put three shots on net in just over 15 minutes against the Islanders. He’d managed one in each of the two games before that. San Jose won the game where he got to three, and lost the other two.
If you’re backing San Jose, these Sharks parlay picks look at Sherwood’s shots in Sharks wins and Evgeni Malkin’s assists in Pittsburgh losses.

Kiefer Sherwood over 1.5 shots on goal
Sherwood is projected to skate with Alexander Wennberg and Mason Marchment, the same line San Jose listed before the Islanders game. The −130 over needs two shots on net. He had three in that win without recording a point.
He’s reached two in six of eight Sharks wins this season and in half his appearances overall. That’s a little less often than his record in wins since the January trade. The line fits if you see San Jose’s second line getting time in the offensive zone.
Evgeni Malkin under 0.5 assists
Malkin scored without an assist in the Columbus loss earlier this season, so Pittsburgh can get a goal from him and still leave this under intact. Anaheim showed how quickly it can go the other way. He had two assists in a 5–2 Penguins loss, a night after recording three in the win at Los Angeles.
Malkin practiced with Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell. If they stay together, one finish from either can beat the under. At −165, weigh his nine of 11 Pittsburgh losses without an assist this season against the longer record of 28 of 40 losses.

Choosing your Sharks parlay picks
Sherwood’s line fits a game where San Jose’s second line gets a few clean looks. Malkin’s under fits if you expect the Sharks to limit what Pittsburgh creates off his passes, even if he gets chances of his own.
