I鈥檓 not sure there鈥檚 a long-term relationship here that can be salvaged.鈥?This could mean Columbus feels they need to dump Bobrovsky and go out and acquire another goaltender by the deadline.When it comes to Panarin, the team and his representation are going to meet over the All-Star break and if there's no indication that Panarin is ready to sign an extension, they may choose to move him as well, then flip the picks they get in return for immediate help, softening the blow of losing their best offensive weapon.advertising Ezra Shaw/Getty ImagesThe San Jose Sharks (9-6-3) will try to move closer to first place in the Pacific Division and hand their opponent their second straight road loss on Tuesday when they host the Nashville Predators (13-3-1) as small home favorites at sportsbooks.The Sharks are coming off a 3-1 home win over the Calgary Flames on Sunday, while the Predators will be playing on back-to-back nights following a 2-1 shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

Why the Predators can pay on the NHL linesNashville has been the best team in the NHL this season, mostly due to a near-perfect record away from home. The Predators have earned a league-best eight road wins, two of which have come in the first three editions of a five-game West Coast road trip.They have also won four of the past six meetings with San Jose, according to the OddsShark NHL Database www.officialbruinsproonline.com , despite losing the first game this year 5-4 at home three weeks ago. In the first meeting, backup goaltender Juuse Saros took the loss for Nashville and will likely get the call again here. That experience should help him.Why the Sharks can pay on the NHL linesThe Sharks will be catching the Predators in the second game of a back-to-back situation, so they will be more well-rested and ready for them at home. San Jose has gone 5-2-1 at the SAP Center overall, with three consecutive wins there since dropping its only two games there in succession.After getting swept in a two-game road trip versus the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues, San Jose bounced back by beating Calgary in a dominant performance between the two Pacific foes. The Sharks jumped out to a 2-0 lead and saw veteran Joe Pavelski finish with one goal and two assists. Smart betting pickWhile Saros has been pretty solid between the pipes for Nashville overall outside of the first loss to San Jose earlier this season, that performance will haunt him in this spot. He was a perfect 4-0 up until that point, filling in nicely for injured starter Pekka Rinne.Even though Rinne is back Boston Bruins T-Shirts Authentic , Saros has still struggled at times, giving up four goals in Saturday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Stars. Look for the Sharks to bite him again.
