Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks: Oilers beat Californians at home for the first time in six games

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks match, which will take place on March 25. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Edmonton is having another tough season. In the first half of the current regular season, they looked very weak. Fortunately, by the middle of March they could gain excellent form, which allowed them to produce a 5-match winning streak. However, the team lost to Colorado and Dallas with a score of 2:3 and 3:5 respectively in the last two games, that's why they dropped to the seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

San Jose is one of those teams that has battled for a long time to make the playoffs, but lately the Sharks have slowed down. In February they had a seven-game losing streak, which was the key factor in their fight for the Cup battles. In their last two games, San Jose beat Arizona and Calgary 4:2 and 4--:3 respectively, but they are now only 13th in the Western Conference standings.

Edmonton has been a stronger and more ambitious team than San Jose in recent years, but the Oilers could not beat the Sharks in their last five consecutive head-to-head encounters. The upcoming game is the best opportunity for the Blues and Oranges to break their losing streak, as they are still fighting for a playoff spot, while the Sharks have already lost motivation in the standings. As a result, we suggest betting on Edmonton to win for 1.64.

The last time Edmonton and San Jose met in the play-offs was in 2017, after which almost every head-to-head encounter has been incredibly productive. In their previous 13 meetings, the opponents have scored 99 goals against each other (7.61 average per game). Now, there's every chance for a goal feast. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total over 6.5 for 2.184.

Zach Hyman is a forward who doesn't have much in the way of individual skill, but he is very useful with top NHL players. In fact, he's recorded 41 points (21 goals + 20 assists) in 58 regular season games. In such a situation, it's worth taking a closer look at Zach Hyman Total Over 0.5 for 3.
