Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 04/03/25

The Edmonton Oilers are slowly but surely getting healthier. After missing for 11 days due to injury, Leon Draisaitl returned 2 games ago — and the Oilers are a totally different team when he is on the ice. The Oilers have back-to-back wins by a 3-2 score, topping the Calgary Flames in overtime at home Saturday, as Draisaitl had 2 goals and an assist — including the game-winner — while Edmonton topped Vegas 3-2 on the road, with Draisaitl again making his presence felt with a powerplay goal. Calvin Pickard is getting a chance as the top goaltender, as Stuart Skinner is out with a head injury.

The Sharks have allowed 23 goal in the past 4 games, or 5.6 goals per outing. It should be no surprise that the Over has cashed in each of the past 4 outings. The offense has 11 goals in the 4 games, too, or 2.8 on average. That’s at least respectable, and the main reason why we’re rolling with the Over. While the Under is 3-1 in the past four meetings between these teams, that Over is 5-3-1 in the past 9 games in this series. Let’s go high on the total, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Edmonton do most of the heavy lifting.
