SAN JOSE — It’s shaping up to be an intriguing Thursday night at SAP Center.
Whether it actually clarifies anything as far as where the Sharks will finish in the Pacific Division remains to be seen.
Thanks to their 3-1 win over Vancouver on Tuesday, and Edmonton’s 6-4 loss in Los Angeles, the Sharks can still earn home ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs.
If the Sharks beat the Oilers on Thursday in regulation time and earn two points from Calgary on Saturday, they’ll finish no worse than second in the Pacific and have home ice advantage for the first round — probably against Edmonton.
