San Jose Sharks
The Sharks aren’t exactly bursting into the postseason with momentum as they’ve gone an astounding 1-8-1 over their last 10 and have lost two in a row. Granted San Jose is still on their way to the postseason, but with just 2 games to go you’d think they want to avoid limping into the playoffs like this.
It goes to show how bad Edmonton has been this season that a slumping Sharks team is favored by so much on Thursday. San Jose did drop a 3-4 contest in Edmonton on November 20th, but has since outscored the Oilers 19-8 in three wins.

The Sharks have lost 9 of their last 10 and as expected poor defense has played a very big part. San Jose has allowed at least 4 goals in 8 of those last 10. The Edmonton offense is no world beater, but that’s still a pretty bad run.
Martin Jones is the probable starter Thursday as San Jose tries to work out his kinks before the postseason. The reason Edmonton has value in this one is because Jones is 1-6 over his last 7 decisions.
Edmonton Oilers
Does Edmonton even care to win this one? They’ve gone a so-so 3-5-2 over their last 10 but come into Thursday’s home game with a 4 game losing streak. The Oilers offense has completely shut down being held to 2 goals or less in four straight outings.

The bad thing about a struggling offense is that you need a good defense to keep you in games. Edmonton does not have that lately as they have given up 25 goals over the last six games.
The ‘over’ has hit in 10 of 11 meetings between these two teams and looks like a solid play again on Thursday. This is especially true if Mikko Koskinen continues to struggle, allowing 11 goals total in three straight losses.
