San Jose Sharks podcast Lincoln Juarez podcast:

#1 The Edmonton Oilers are in first place for a reason they have won seven of their last ten games, are tied with the Anaheim Ducks for first in the Pacific Division with 87 points each and they pay a visit to the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night at SAP Center.

#2 How will the potential absence or limited impact of the Oilers Leon Draisaitl affect Edmonton’s scoring depth and power play efficiency?

#3 Will the Sharks be able to capitalize on home-ice advantage and close the gap in the season series, which Edmonton currently leads?

#4 The Sharks are coming off an impressive 3-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Blackhawks despite being in last place the Central Division played Monday night like it meant something but the Sharks got the better of them with a one goal win.

#5 The Sharks have won five of their last six games since coming off a six game losing streak and face off with the Oilers on Wednesday night how do you see this match up?
