The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up to finish their home schedule on a strong note as they face off against the San Jose Sharks.
The Oilers have had a successful season so far, currently sitting in second place in the North Division with a record of 25-15-2. However, they have struggled in their recent home games, losing four out of their last five matches at Rogers Place.
With only six home games left in the regular season, the Oilers are determined to turn things around and end on a high note. This will not only boost their confidence heading into the playoffs, but also give their loyal fans something to cheer about.
The Sharks, on the other hand, have had a tough season and are currently sitting in sixth place in the West Division with a record of 18-22-4. However, they have proven to be a tough opponent for the Oilers, winning two out of their three previous meetings this season.
The Oilers will need to bring their A-game and stay focused in order to secure a win against the Sharks. Captain Connor McDavid, who leads the league in points with 74, will be a key player to watch as he continues to dominate on the ice.
In addition, the Oilers will also be relying on their strong goaltending duo of Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen to shut down the Sharks’ offense. The two have been a formidable force for the Oilers this season, with Smith boasting a .923 save percentage and Koskinen with a .913 save percentage.
The Sharks, however, will not go down without a fight. Led by captain Logan Couture, who has 36 points this season, they will be looking to spoil the Oilers’ home game and add to their own win column.
It will be an exciting and intense matchup between these two teams, with both sides hungry for a win. The Oilers will need to use their home ice advantage and play with determination in order to come out on top.
Fans can catch all the action live on Wednesday night at 7:00 PM MT on Sportsnet. Let’s see if the Oilers can finish their home schedule strong and continue their journey towards the playoffs.
