The set-up: The Edmonton Oilers lost Game 1 at home (blew a 2-0 lead and lost 3-3 in OT), playing in their first postseason since 2006. However, the Oilers have rebounded with a 2-0 home win in Game 2 and then a 1-0 win at San Jose in Game 3. Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot has turned aside all 39 shots he has faced in registering back-to-back shutouts.

Edmonton: The Oilers had six penalties in each of the first two games but showed much more discipline in Game 3, taking only two penalties. Despite being short-handed a league-high 14 times through three games, the Oilers have allowed just one power play goal (92.8 percent). "It feels great but, I mean, the job's not done yet," Talbot said after his second straight shutout. "We came in, got home-ice advantage back, but it'd be nice to come in and play another game like that on Tuesday."

San Jose: The Sharks finally have both of their top injured forwards back in the lineup but their returns have done nothing to improve the team's offense. Logan Couture was back in the Sharks' lineup for the series opener after missing the final seven regular-season games with a facial injury and Joe Thornton returned for Game 3 after sitting out a total of five contests with a knee ailment. However, Game 3 ended in a second straight shutout for the Sharks.

The pick: Connor David, the next big thing in the NHL, has a goal and an assist in his first playoff series. However, two players who had breakout seasons in Leon Draisaitl (29 goals, 48 assists) and Patrick Maroon (27 goals), have failed to record a point. Talk about a "must win?" The Sharks have played 2,192 games, including the postseason, and they have have never been blanked three times in a row. It won't happen here either and teh team with all the experience edge (and teh one which was in last yera's Stanley Cup Finals), comes away with the win tonight. Make San Jose a 10* play.
