McDavid, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, missed his third straight game on Saturday but could return to the lineup tonight as he is on the cusp of joining Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux as the only players to ever record 100-assist seasons. The number one overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, McDavid has tallied 100 or more points in seven of his last eight seasons.
Sharks winger Fabian Zetterlund leads the team with 22 goals this season and has collected at least one point in six of his last eight games.
Edmonton has dominated this series of late winning nine of the last 10 meetings including four in a row at home. While the Oilers have been victorious in most of the games over the last three seasons, a majority of the games have been close with four of the last eight games being decided by one goal including three that have gone to overtime.
