Oilers vs Sharks prediction
Oilers vs Sharks best bet: Connor McDavid Over 3.5 shots on goal (+105)
The San Jose Sharks allow a high volume of shots per contest, ranking 27th in shots allowed per game.
Connor McDavid has seen an uptick in his shot volume of late, but the betting market hasn’t caught up to it yet.
McDavid is getting +105 odds to go Over 3.5 shots despite averaging 5.2 shots per game over his last five outings, clearing this total in three straight.
With Leon Draisaitl out and points being at a premium for the Edmonton Oilers late in the season, I expect his trend of dominating the shot counter to continue.

I’ll continue to pound the shots market for Edmonton by taking Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to go Over his total of 1.5 shots on goal. He’s cleared this number in six of his last eight games, and has averaged 2.31 shots against the Sharks throughout his career.
Evan Bouchard leads all NHL defensemen with 88 points, 68 of which have counted as assists. He’s also registered 1+ assists in 16 of his last 21 games.
