Sat Apr 12 01:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Oilers Star McDavid Poised for Another Big Game Against Sharks

**Edmonton, AB** – Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is expected to continue his scoring streak against the struggling San Jose Sharks on Friday, April 11th. McDavid, returning from a near three-week absence, recorded three assists in his comeback game against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. Sports analysts are predicting another multi-point performance for the Oilers superstar, citing the Sharks’ porous defense as a key factor.

The Sharks have allowed a league-worst 5.14 goals per game since March 29th, culminating in an 8-7 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who is expected to start against Edmonton, has struggled mightily, posting a dismal .832 save percentage and 5.83 goals-against average during the team’s recent losing streak.

While the Sharks’ young players, like Macklin Celebrini (who recently had a five-point game), have shown offensive potential, their defensive woes make them a prime target for McDavid’s offensive prowess. He already tallied three assists against San Jose in their previous matchup this season.

Betting sites favor McDavid to exceed 1.5 points in the game. However, analysts also note that while the Sharks’ games have been high-scoring, both teams have shown signs of tightening up defensively recently, potentially leading to a lower-scoring game than anticipated. Celebrini is also expected to contribute offensively for San Jose.
