San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
The Oilers are banged up and have had many games this season where they’ve dropped some stinkers. Still, the Sharks are arguably the worst team in hockey and don’t provide much betting value. The Sharks have eight wins on the road and I doubt that changes against an Oilers team that’s won nine of the last 10 games against them. Most of those games weren’t close. There’s really not much to say about this spot. The Oilers are explosive offensively and the Sharks are terrible. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
