The Sharks will face the Oilers in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Anaheim clinched the Pacific title by going to overtime against the Kings on Sunday night, putting Edmonton in second place. San Jose had already locked up third in the Pacific and will begin the playoffs on the road on either Wednesday or Thursday in Alberta.
A complete playoff schedule has not been released, though it sounds like the Sharks will play on Wednesday and Saturday in Edmonton before playing a pair of games in San Jose. I’ll update this post with the full playoff schedule when it is released.
