Mandatory Credit: James Carey Lauder-Imagn Images The Edmonton Oilers wrap up the regular season Wednesday night in San Jose, looking to complete a sweep of their season series with the Sharks.
Edmonton (47-29-5, 99 points), locked in the third seed in the Pacific Division, have won all three meetings this season, with San Jose limiting the Sharks to two goals per game.
Wednesday is the third meeting between the Sharks and Oilers this month. Edmonton edged San Jose 3-2 in the Bay Area on April 3 and doubled up the Sharks 4-2 last Friday on home ice.
The Oilers are coming off a 5-0 home ice loss Monday to the Los Angeles Kings — their first-round opponent in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
“Our goal was to make the playoffs, that was our first goal, and then go from there,” Edmonton forward Corey Perry said. “We know who we’re playing. We open up on the road, so we’ll go out and do a job on the road.
“It’s not the first time or the last time we’re going to open up a series on the road,” he continued. “We’ve been decent on the road and we know how to play just a boring style of hockey.”
Calvin Pickard made 31 saves in the loss as Edmonton played without top scorers Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman, and blue-liners Mattias Ekholm and Jake Walman.
Ekholm (undisclosed injury) will miss the first round of the playoffs, while McDavid and Hyman could play Wednesday in San Jose. Draisaitl is expected to be ready for Game 1 against Los Angeles.
Pickard is 22-10-1 in 36 appearances this season with a .900 save percentage and a 2.71 goals-against average.
Fellow goaltender Stuart Skinner is 25-18-4 in 50 games, posting an .894 save percentage and 2.87 GAA.
San Jose heads into the season finale looking to wrap up the schedule on a winning note.
The Sharks (20-49-12, 52 points), last in the overall standings, are winless in 10 straight (0-7-3), with their last win coming March 27 against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a shootout.
On Monday, the Sharks were edged 2-1 in overtime by the Vancouver Canucks.
Macklin Celebrini, the top pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, scored the lone goal for San Jose, and Alexandar Georgiev made 35 saves.
Georgiev is 7-18-4 in 30 games this season, posting an .873 save percentage and 3.95 GAA.
Celebrini, whose 25th goal came on a power play, has a team-leading 63 points in 69 games this season.
“I thought we competed,” said Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky. “I thought we had some pretty good effort. I just think at times our brains weren’t there, which I don’t know if that’s to be expected or not, but it’s the National Hockey League, so your brains have to be on. But for us to be in the hockey game and gave ourselves another chance to win one and just came up a little short again.”
Tyler Toffoli paces San Jose with 30 goals in 77 contests, while William Eklund leads the way with 41 assists in 76 games.
San Jose forwards Zack Ostapchuk and Thomas Bordeleau and defensemen Jan Rutta and Jack Thompson are all day-to-day after getting injured in Sunday’s 5-2 loss to the host Calgary Flames.

Sparta hlásí první posilu, získala reprezentačního obránce
„Kuba je velmi kvalitní obránce. Výborně bruslí a má dobré hokejové vidění. Je to mladý, perspektivní kluk, který má velký potenciál a chuť se zlepšovat,“ říká o bekovi, který v posledních dvou sezonách odehrál sedm zápasů za národní tým, sportovní ředitel pražského klubu Tomáš Divíšek.„Jedna z věcí, proč jsem šel do Sparty, je vyhrát pohár. Nikdy se mi zatím nepodařilo vyhrát ligu, takže mám ambice zvednout pohár nad hlavu a vyhrát dobrou ligu,“ tvrdí Sirota, jenž by zároveň s přesunem do Sparty rád získal stabilnější místo v reprezentaci.Kroměřížský rodák Sirota ve svých osmnácti letech zamířil do zámoří, kde kromě hokeje (nastupoval převážně za univerzitní tým Maine v NCAA) vystudoval i obor marketing a má tak vysokoškolský diplom.Po sedmi letech ve Spojených státech zamířil předloni do extraligové Olomouce. Za dvě sezony odehrál za Kohouty106 zápasů s bilancí 10 gólů a 36 asistencí. Letos jim pomohl v baráži k záchraně extraligy.Spartu naopak po konci sezony opustili obránci Ondřej Mikliš, Michal […]

Who knows more: NFL front offices or Mel Kiper? Deitsch’s Media Mailbag
Welcome to the 41st media mailbag for The Athletic. Thanks for sending in your questions via the website and app. There were close to 100 questions, so this is the first of two parts.I’m sure there have been many comments on Mel Kiper Jr. and the NFL draft. Simply, does he (or any draft expert) eventually come to terms with the fact that just maybe they’re wrong on (Shedeur Sanders)? At the end of the day, 32 NFL front offices should know more than Mel or anyone else in the media, correct? — Jarren D.As I wrote in a piece with my colleagues Andrew Marchand and Dan Shanoff, what viewers saw on ESPN was the nexus of Kiper being hyper-invested in his Sanders analysis running into the reality of what was actually happening.
