A pair of Pacific Division rivals meet up on Monday night when the Edmonton Oilers host the San Jose Sharks. This is one of those NHL matchups that looks like a complete mismatch on paper, but that doesn’t mean that it will play out that way.
San Jose is buried in the NHL standings, and it’s been a rough season for the Sharks. Edmonton comes into this game in third place in the Pacific Division, and they have work to do if they want to lock in a playoff spot.
Looking at the Sharks vs Oilers odds is just one small part of betting on this game on Monday night. This should be one of the better games on the NHL schedule today.
San Jose Sharks vs. Edmonton Oilers Odds
The Sharks vs Oilers odds show you just how much of a mismatch this game is, but that’s most nights for the Sharks. Edmonton is the moneyline betting favorite at -335, and the over/under for this game is set at 7.0.
There are other NHL odds out there to look at, but those are typically the two bets you want to make on hockey. With such a big spread, it would be wise to look at the puck line and get the Oilers at -1.5.

San Jose Sharks vs. Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview
San Jose Sharks
You are going to find the San Jose Sharks standing at the bottom of the Pacific Division, and this team is currently in the middle of a long losing streak as well. San Jose doesn’t do anything well, and one quick look at the NHL stats will show you that.
San Jose is scoring just 2.84 goals per game this season, and they are allowing nearly 3.8 goals per game this season. The Sharks have scored on the power play just 18 percent of the time and scoring enough goals to win this game is going to be a big challenge.
The NHL injury report for the Sharks is pretty clear, but Jacob Macdonald will be sitting out for this game with an injury.
Edmonton Oilers
If you are looking to make Edmonton Oilers picks for any game, then you first have to focus on their offense. Edmonton can score goals in a hurry, and they are averaging 3.9 goals per game this season.
Connor McDavid has put up some ridiculous NHL player stats this season, and he leads the way with 58 goals and 76 assists. McDavid could do a ton of damage in this game, especially on a power-play unit that scores over 31 percent of the time.
The Oilers are a team that will give up some goals, but that shouldn’t be a major issue against a Sharks team that doesn’t have many weapons.
San Jose Sharks vs. Edmonton Oilers Betting Picks
After looking closely at the Sharks vs Oilers odds for this game, it’s pretty clear that there is one bet to make. One of the best NHL picks today is to take the puck line on Monday night, as Edmonton is going to blow this game wide open.
You should also be looking to bet the over/under with your NHL picks, and taking the over is the way to go in this game. Edmonton is going to have a huge offensive game, and it’s going to lead to a comfortable win.
- Over/Under: Over 7.0 (-110)
- Puck Line: Edmonton Oilers -1.5
