San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/17/26

The San Jose Sharks face the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. The Sharks are currently ranked 10th in the Western Conference, only 1 point back in the playoff race. The issue for the Sharks is that they have given up 19 goals over their last 5 games. This has been a common theme for them this season, as they allow 3.51 goals per game — second most in the NHL. The Sharks also rank 30th in shots this season, averaging only 25.8 per game. These struggles on both sides of the puck could be a problem today against the Oilers.

Edmonton currently ranks seventh in the Western Conference. It has won 3 of its last 5 games overall. On the season the Oilers rank second in goals per game with a 3.50 average. They are also fourth in total shots with 29.8 per game. The Oilers’ offense is incredible, and this is shown in their powerplay. On the season they rank first league wide with 60 powerplay goals and a 31.91% powerplay percentage. Overall, the Oilers should dominate the offensive side of the ice in this one.
