Play: Edmonton Oilers
Rating: 8/10*

The Edmonton Oilers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the opener of this first round playoffs series, but the San Jose Sharks came back strong to win 3-2 in overtime. I like the Oilers to tie the series with a win tonight. Edmonton is extremely strong home at Rogers Place (25-12-2 during regular season, 9-1 L10 home games), and the home town crowd will do everything in their power to carry the team to a win here. The Sharks are already in command of the series and perhaps not quite as desperate for another win at Edmonton.
