The Edmonton Oilers could get caught in a breather alert game this afternoon against the lowly San Jose Sharks. Edmonton comes into this game with a 9-01 mark in their last 10 games. San Jose isn't nearly as bad as they look. They have 16 overtime losses this season, more than any other franchise. That says they are competitive but can't get over the top. Edmonton could be flat here, and with San Jose competing so close in so many games, the Edmonton letdown could sway the pendulum the Shark's way. I like San Jose.
