Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci collaborated for 6.5 defensive point shares. Stuart Skinner, who has a.911 save percentage, a 2.90 goals-against average, and 8.9 goals saved above average on 1318 shots, was the team’s shining star.

San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers. The NHL pick for this game is the Edmonton Oilers. The Sharks are eager to win the upcoming match and end their losing streak.
The issue is that the Oilers are having a fantastic year and aim to dominate the Sharks on both ends of the ice.
With Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and the rest of the forward group pushing the puck into the offensive zone and generating open shots with swift puck movement, the Oilers, who average 3.91 goals per game, should tally a lot of goals against the Sharks, who give up 3.76 goals per game.
Darnell Nurse, Cody Ceci, and the rest of the defense should make turnovers in the defensive zone and close down shooting lanes for the Oilers to restrict the Sharks’ offense, which only scores 2.84 goals per game on average.
This will give goaltender Stuart Skinner plenty of opportunities to make crucial saves. The Oilers should triumph and cover the odds in a convincing victory on their home field. The Edmonton Oilers will win to a predicted score of 6-2.
