In this Oilers vs Sharks Prediction, the Oilers are coming as -155 road favorites. The Oilers have found their groove with three straight wins but the Sharks have the same record this season and have won both games at home. I like the total in this game, as I expect a high-scoring affair between two teams that average 8.5 goals per game combined this season, while allowing 7.5 combined. Both goalies have been struggling so far, with sub-.863 SV% each and 7.21 GAA combined and the last four head-to-head meetings between those two teams had at least seven total goals. Take the over 6.5 in this one.
