Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks Best Bet: Monday, March 20th
The San Jose Sharks have lost their last 6 games, and the last team they need to see right now is a hot Edmonton Oilers squad chasing a 4th consecutive win headed toward the playoffs. With only 12 games remaining in the regular season, the Oilers are still in the fight for the Pacific Division title just a few points behind LA and Vegas. The overall 1-seed for the post-season isn’t out of reach either, so two more points against San Jose will come in handy tonight.
Our resident pucks expert Ej Garr has another plus-money offer to put on the table for this match and who out there is shocked? If you know anything about Ej he is the Mayor of Value City and his awareness of the ROI is vital to his success. Let’s take it to the ice and see what tip he has in mind for this Monday night affair up North.

Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks Preview
March 21, 02:35 (UK time)
The Sharks are officially in the Western Conference basement in last place in the Pacific Division table, and it has been one long campaign for San Jose this year. With only 52 points earned, only the Columbus Blue Jackets from the Eastern Conference trail San Jose for the first pick in the next NHL Draft.
Well, by now you know that I look for the best offers we can find to put the dough in our pockets, and this is an opportunity to expect more success from the Oilers and more bad hockey out of the Sharks.
San Jose has not scored more than 3 goals over their last 12 games but once, and that came in a 6 – 5 loss to those Blue Jackets back on March 14 accounting for the 4th loss over this 6-game losing streak.
Could you imagine in Erik Karlsson wasn’t playing for San Jose? Karlsson has accumulated 85 points this year and his closest teammate on the roster has only secured 59 points behind him. Logan Couture has a +- of -19 but he has, at least, managed to find his way to 24 goals with 59 points for the campaign. Couture has scored 15+ goals in 12 straight seasons,
The Oilers have won 5 of their last 6 games and their offense is clicking on all cylinders right now. With that impressive win over Boston to go along with scoring 4+ goals in the last 4 games. Stuart Skinner has started 12 of the last 13 Oilers’ games, and he is listed as the probable netminder for this game on Monday night.
Skinner and Kaapo Kahkonen is showing as the probable starters, and do we need to point out how bad Kahkonen has been lately? How about a 9-game losing streak while allowing 27 goals over his last 5 starts? That is some ugly stuff and now we get to talk about that Oilers’ offense!
Connor McDavid has secured 134 points this campaign, and I am sorry but that is just a stunning number to see. With 58 goals and 76 dimes, Betting on the Oilers Captain to score every night is easy as it comes of late, as he has scored in 4 straight games and put 10 points in his pocket over the span.
Leon Draisaitl is also over 100 points for the campaign (104) and he is carrying a 5-game point-scoring streak into this game. Draisaitl leads the Oilers squad with 27 PP goals, and his ratio of 661 – 562 with face-off wins is certainly just as impressive.
