Pick
I’m backing the Oilers -1.5 here. I get why the Sharks could be worth a look here, but I honestly don’t feel like backing San Jose in a building where they’ve won just 8 times this season despite home ice being where you’re supposed to do your best work. The Oilers have been rolling along and I don’t see the Sharks stopping them here. Give me the Oilers.
