Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks Prediction

The Oilers have had games here and there recently where they haven’t shown up, and I don’t expect them to be all that invested here with a series locked up with the Kings. However, the Sharks are awful and not a team I’m excited to back regardless of the circumstances. The Sharks are awful and don’t make bettors money. The Predators and Sharks are two teams this season that have lost a $100 bettor more than 2K this season. The Oilers can sit who they want to sit. I’m not backing the Sharks. Give me the Oilers. Of course, I'll lay the PL to shave the juice.
