The Sharks finished their regular season last night by beating the Flames 3-1. They have the third seed in the Pacific wrapped up: but their opponent is yet to be determined as both Edmonton and Anaheim have games today to decide who will take home the Pacific title.
San Jose will head on the road to play the second-place Pacific squad on either Wednesday or Thursday. The Oilers play Vancouver while the Ducks play the Kings. Here are the scenarios that will determine who the Sharks play in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:
The Sharks play the Oilers in the first round (82 percent chance) if:
-Edmonton loses to Vancouver in any fashion
OR
-Anaheim beats Los Angeles
If either (or both) of those things happen, the Sharks head to Edmonton this week to take on the Oilers.
