San Jose vs Edmonton: prediction for the NHL game
The Sharks take on the Oilers in the NHL on Friday night. What to expect from this game? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
San Jose Sharks
USAThis is yet another terrible season for San Jose. At the moment, the Sharks are only 13th in the Western Conference table with a total of 34 points. One of the main reasons for such poor results is the team's horrible defensive play. The Sharks concede an average of four goals per game, which is one of the worst defensive records in the league. In the last eight games, San Jose got only two victories - they beat Chicago (5:2) and Arizona (4:2).
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaEdmonton continue their road trip. In the first game, the Oilers faced Los Angeles and suffered a 3:6 defeat. Goalie Skinner had a terrible game and was even substituted off in the second period, but that didn't help the Oilers. After that, Edmonton managed to get a high-scoring victory over Anaheim (6:2). McDavid had a solid performance - the Oilers' top scorer delivered a goal and an assist.
