Edmonton Oilers (18-12-5)

@ San Jose Sharks (20-12-1)

 

Starting Goalies:

Cam Talbot(EDM): Confirmed

Martin Jones(SJ): Confirmed

 

• The Edmonton Oilers look to extend their winning streak to four games when they visit the San Jose Sharks on Friday night in a showdown for first place in the Pacific Division. The Oilers will be attempting to wrap up a perfect three-game road trip after ending a long streak of futility at Arizona on Wednesday, beating the Coyotes in regulation for the first time in 26 meetings.

• Edmonton is receiving some solid offensive production from its fourth line, with the trio of Mark Letestu, Zack Kassian and Matt Hendricks combining for seven points at Arizona. Letestu has three goals and four assists over the past five games and his 11 points over the last 11 games are second on the team to Leon Draisaitl during that span.

• San Jose pumped in all four of its goals against Calgary in a span of under 11 minutes, with the final two coming from slumping Joonas Donskoi, who halted a 22-game drought dating to Oct. 29. San Jose continues to struggle on the power play, going 3-for-26 over the last six games.

• Sharks G Martin Jones is 3-1-1 with a 1.56 goals-against average and a pair of shutouts versus Edmonton.

• Oilers C Connor McDavid has one goal in his last 11 games.

• Sharks captain Joe Pavelski has four goals and five assists in his last nine games overall and 37 points in 40 games versus the Oilers.
