San Jose are winners of one in their last ten. They’ll look to shake the funk with a visit to Edmonton. Can Anthony Stolarz hold the fort?

LINES

Defence:

Oscar Klefbom - Adam Larsson

Darnell Nurse - Kris Russell

Andrej Sekera - Matt Benning

Goal

Anthony Stolarz

Mikko Koskinen

THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

• In what will likely be his first and only scheduled start, Anthony Stolarz takes the net. Here’s hoping he turns aside 46 shots for a shutout, warms up to the Oilers and signs a one year deal for 850K.
• We’re running out of time for Tobias Rieder to score a goal. He’s got to do it either tonight (n a line with Colby Cave and Alex Chiasson) or Saturday versus Calgary. Let’s go.
• The Sharks have allowed an average of 4.3 goals per game over their last ten. That’s a tonne of goals! Let’s go, get 97 the puck and let’s make it a four point night already.
