Edmonton is a talented young team in command of the series, up 2-1. The Oilers are eighth in the NHL in goals scored and allowed, along with a top five power play. The Oilers are on a 14-3 run, as well as 22-6 when their opponent scores two or fewer goals in their previous game. Game 3 was low scoring, a 1-0 Edmonton win, but their previous five road contests were shootouts with scores of 3-2, 4-2, 6-4, 7-4 and 4-3. Stumbling San Jose is on a 5-11 run and dealing with key injuries. Logan Couture was back in the Sharks' lineup for the series opener after missing the final seven regular-season games with a facial injury. Joe Thornton returned for Game 3 after sitting out a total of five contests (knee), but neither has recorded a point in the matchup. Edmonton has won five of the last six meetings and the OVER is 7-3-1 when these teams clash at San Jose. The wagering value is for the dog to win the game or lose by one goal in an offensive show. Play both Edmonton on the Puckline and the OVER the total.
