This NHL betting preview of the San Jose Sharks vs. Columbus Blue Jackets game is courtesy of SBG Global where the opening line was Sharks  -  170  ,  Total  5.5 Under - 130

The San Jose Sharks are off to the best 30-game start in NHL history. They have 52 points in their first 30 games, breaking the record of 50 which was held by the 1929-1930 Boston Bruins. "I've never been a part of something like this," captain Patrick Marleau said. "... We're a fun group - but at the same time, we demand a lot from each other. And I think that's why we've had the start that we've had."

SBG Global reports that early hockey betting has the public taking   Sharks on the Road.

The only problem for San Jose on Wednesday could be a letdown.  They just broke Boston's record on Monday and have to play Detroit on Thursday.  They shouldn't look past Columbus who has won four straight at home.  The Blue Jackets have allowed a total of four goals in their last four home games.  Rookie Steve Mason has been leading the way in goal and ranks third in the NHL in goals against average at 1.98.  The problem for Columbus has been scoring goals. They scored just one against Chicago in their last loss. "I think it's frustrating for everyone to live on this 'we played so well' and still only scored one goal," Columbus coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Right now we're living on a fine line and there's not much breathing room."  In their last 13 games the Blue Jackets have scored three goals or less.

Here are the hockey betting stats for Wednesday's game. The Sharks are 5-0 in their last 5 road games. The Sharks are 6-1 in their last 7 Wednesday games. The Sharks are 48-16 in their last 64 vs. the Central. The Sharks are 21-7 in the last 28 meetings between the two teams.
