The Edmonton Oilers and the San Jose Sharks meet Wednesday in NHL action from the SAP Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s an Edmonton Oilers vs. San Jose Sharks prediction.
The Edmonton Oilers come into this game looking to bounce back from their 6-5 OT loss at the hands of Utah last time out to sit at 39-29-10 this season. After this game, the Oilers will head on the road for a game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Going into Tuesday, Connor McDavid leads the Oilers with 126 points including a team-high 43 goals and a team-high 83 assists while Leon Draisaitl has 97 points with 35 goals and 62 assists. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 53 points with 18 goals and 35 assists while Evan Bouchard has 88 points with 21 goals and 67 assists. Mattias Ekholm also has 39 points with 6 goals and 33 assists and Zach Hyman has 51 points with 31 goals and 20 assists as well this season. Calvin Pickard is 5-6-2 with a 3.68 GAA and an .871 save percentage and Connor Ingram is 14-9-2 with a 2.78 GAA and an .895 save percentage while Tristan Jarry is 9-6-1 with a 3.81 GAA and an .860 save percentage in goal for Edmonton this season.
The San Jose Sharks come into this game looking to add on to their 3-2 win over Chicago last time out to sit at 37-32-7 this season. After this game, the Sharks will head on the road for a game against the Anaheim Ducks.
Macklin Celebrini leads the Sharks in scoring with 107 points including 41 goals and 66 assists while Will Smith has 55 points with 23 goals and 32 assists this season. Tyler Toffoli has 47 points with 18 goals and 29 assists and William Eklund’s also added 48 points with 14 goals and 34 assists as well. Dmitry Orlov’s chipped in 31 assists while Alexander Wennberg’s had 53 points with 18 goals and 35 assists as well this season. Yaroslav Askarov’s gone 21-18-3 with a 3.56 GAA and an .886 save percentage in goal for the Sharks while Alex Nedeljkovic is 16-13-4 with a 2.89 GAA and an .896 save percentage this season.
I’m on the over in this one. I think this ends up being a high-scoring affair between these two teams that have a lot of pop offensively, and the Oilers being on the back-to-back doesn’t help with tired legs in what should be an up and down matchup across the board. I think this has the makings of a 4-3 kind of game so give me the over here.
