Edmonton vs San Jose Stats

Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers saw their three-game winning streak come to an end last Monday with a 5-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Despite recent victories over the St. Louis Blues, San Jose Sharks, and Winnipeg Jets, the Oilers struggled against the Kings, being outshot 36-21 and accumulating 53 penalty minutes. Los Angeles capitalized on two power-play opportunities while Edmonton failed to score on six attempts. Goaltender Calvin Pickard allowed five goals on 36 shots in the defeat. The Oilers were missing key players such as Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman due to various reasons, and they may also be absent for their upcoming game against San Jose. Currently ranked 11th in offense, 15th in defense, and with a season record of 47-29-5, the Oilers will look to bounce back from their recent loss.

San Jose Sharks Analysis

The San Jose Sharks are currently on a 10-game losing streak, with their latest defeat being a 2-1 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Despite rookie Macklin Celebrini scoring his 25th goal of the season, the Sharks were outshot 37-16 and ultimately fell short. Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev has struggled with a 7-18-4 record and a 3.95 GAA this season. The team ranks 29th in power rankings and is last in offense and defense. The Edmonton Oilers have struggled against the Sharks recently, going 0-2-1 in their last three matchups.

Oilers Favored to Dominate Sharks in Upcoming Game Despite Recent Setbacks

The upcoming game between the Oilers and Sharks presents a unique opportunity for the Oilers, who are currently placed third in the Pacific Division and gearing up to face the LA Kings in the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup. On the other hand, the Sharks find themselves at the bottom of the NHL standings, trailing seven points behind the Chicago Blackhawks. Despite missing key players, the Oilers remain the more favorable choice over the struggling Sharks. The Oilers' lineup is likely to offer a solid chance of success, especially in contrast to the unreliable Sharks' goaltending situation. Following a recent defeat, the Oilers are expected to come back stronger, particularly in their powerplay performance. Given the Sharks' defensive struggles this season, it is reasonable to anticipate an Oilers victory by the puckline.
