Time: 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Our second and featured game of NHL predictions has the Edmonton Oilers and the San Jose Sharks meeting for the last time this season. The Oilers seem like they’ll continue to ride Connor Ingram in goal and give him the start again. Edmonton is 6-3-1 in its previous 10 games but have dropped the last two games entering this matchup. The Oilers are tied for the Vegas Golden Knights for first place in the Pacific Division. Connor McDavid is a race with Nikita Kucherov for the league’s lead in points with 128.
Yaroslav Askarov is the likely starter for the Sharks, who are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. San Jose did get a victory over the Chicago Blackhawks last time out and have taken five of the last six games entering this matchup. The Sharks are three points off the second wild card in the Western Conference. Even if San Jose misses the postseason, this team has made great strides. Macklin Celebrini is making a case for the Hart Trophy with 41 goals and 66 assists for 107 points.
The two teams are in need of points for different reasons. However, Edmonton will get the victory in this one.
Prediction: Oilers win 5-3.
