San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
The San Jose Sharks are racking up the losses, and they’re getting waxed defensively during this losing stretch. A trip to Edmonton against his explosive offense is unlikely going to change things. The last time the Sharks and Oilers played, Edmonton scored 9 goals and the Oilers have outscored the Sharks 14-2 in the last two games. The Edmonton Oilers have figured things out over these last couple of weeks, and the defense is taking steps in the right direction. This could get ugly. Give me the Oilers and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
