How to Watch:

Time: 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Our second game of NHL predictions has the San Jose Sharks meeting the Edmonton Oilers for the first time this campaign. Alex Nedeljkovic is the projected starter for the Sharks, who are 7-3 in their last 10 games. However, the Sharks have lost their previous six encounters against the Oilers. Macklin Celebrini is leading the way with 27 goals and 51 assists for 78 points.

Tristan Jarry is the probable starter for the Oilers, who are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. However, Edmonton has won its last two games entering this matchup. The Oilers haven’t lost to the Sharks since November 9, 2023. Connor McDavid is first on the team in goals (33), assists (59), and points (92).

This Sharks team is much different than the ones that have struggled against the Oilers. However, Edmonton gets the victory at home.

Prediction: Oilers win 4-2.
