San Jose is right in the middle of a clustered playoff race and will look to pick up some ground when they welcome in the Edmonton Oilers here on Thursday night.
Both teams come in off a loss, one that particularly hurt the Sharks as they had a chance to make up ground on both teams they were chasing.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers sit in dead last in the Western Conference and once again find themselves stringing together losses.
The Oilers have dropped 2 straight and started their 3 game road trek with a 4-2 loss to Arizona last time out.

While things have been extremely horrendous for the Oilers this year, they can point to the play of Connor McDavid as a reason for bright things ahead of them. McDavid set up both goals in the 4-2 loss to Arizona giving him 7 assists in a 5 game point streak.
McDavid has recorded 30 points in 26 games since returning from injury.
Oilers G Cam Talbot is 0-1-1 with 4 goals against in two starts versus San Jose.
San Jose Sharks
The Sharks are chasing both Anaheim and Los Angeles in the standings and failed to grab ground last time out on both teams.
The Sharks fell 1-0 to the St. Louis Blues, putting an end to their 4 game home winning streak. On the season, San Jose has gone 16-16-1-2 at home as they average 2.80 goals per game.
G Martin Jones has dominated as of late, which has been a giant reason for the Sharks making a surge in the playoffs. Jones has gone 10 straight games with allowing 2 goals or less. However, he was the tough luck loser in the 1-0 game against the Blues.
