Oilers vs. Sharks Predictions

The Oilers, despite having star players like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, have been struggling to find their footing this season. They have lost three straight games and seven of their last eight. Their offensive prowess, which led them to be the highest-scoring team in the NHL last season, seems to have dimmed, with the team scoring a total of 29 goals in 11 games, ranking 28th in the League. Their defense and goaltending have also been issues, with the team allowing the second-most goals in the NHL. However, their recent track record against the Sharks has been favorable, with the Oilers winning all four encounters in the past two seasons.

On the other hand, the Sharks have had a dismal start to the season, tying an NHL record with an 11-game winless streak before finally securing a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Their offense has been particularly weak, scoring just 14 goals in 12 games, the fewest of any NHL team. Despite this, players like Anthony Duclair and Tomas Hertl have shown promise, with Duclair leading the team in goals and Hertl in assists and points.

The game is likely to be a high-scoring affair, given the defensive struggles of both teams and the offensive potential they possess. The key matchup to watch will be between the Oilers’ McDavid and Draisaitl and the Sharks’ Duclair and Hertl. Both pairs have the ability to change the game with their scoring prowess, and their performance will likely be a deciding factor in the outcome of the game.

Oilers vs. Sharks Pick

Despite their recent struggles, the Edmonton Oilers are the clear pick for this game. Their track record against the Sharks is impeccable, with four wins in their last four encounters. The Oilers’ offensive potential, led by star players Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, is undeniable. Although they have been underperforming this season, they have the ability to turn things around and score big, especially against a team like the Sharks that has been struggling defensively.

On the other hand, the Sharks, despite their recent win against the Flyers, have been having a dismal season. Their offense has been particularly weak, and their defense has been unable to keep the puck out of the net. The Oilers, with their offensive firepower, are likely to exploit these weaknesses and score big. Therefore, given the odds and recent trends, betting on the Edmonton Oilers’ moneyline is the right pick for this game.

The Pick: Edmonton Oilers -345 (DraftKings)
