San Jose had a horrible schedule to start the season, playing 16 of 21 on the road. However, that run is over and this team is playing up to its capabilities now, winning four in a row. San Jose won again last night, 3-2 at Calgary, and the Sharks are 5-2 playing on no days rest. Edmonton is a mess, 27th in goals scored and 29th in goals allowed with a bad power play (26th). The Oilers have an eight-game home losing streak. The last game they lost 3-2 at Winnipeg after Ben Scrivens gave up a goal 17 seconds into overtime. The Oilers are 29th in the league with an average of 3.42 goals against, and they've surrendered 32 while going 1-6-2 in their last nine meetings with the Sharks. Edmonton is 11-40 against the Pacific Division, and the Sharks are 18-5-2 in the last 25 meetings, including 5-1 here in Edmonton. Play the San Jose Sharks.
