Sharks to face McLellan, Oilers in first round of Stanley Cup Playoffs

The Sharks will face their former head coach Todd McLellan and league-leading scorer Connor McDavid in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with the series beginning this week at Edmonton’s Rogers Place.

Dates and times for the series are expected to be announced later on Sunday, although one report from the Edmonton Sun had the first two games on Wednesday and Friday.

Wednesday-Saturday the most likely scenario for the first two Oilers playoff home games? Nope. Been informed it'll be Wednesday-Friday.
