Sharks haven’t played since Saturday, with 3 game winning streak (and 6 game home winning streak). They had the day off Sunday (and team family party that evening), with practice Monday (with hospital visit), Tuesday (and team “Holiday Assist” party) and Wednesday. (13, 18, 81 and 83 have NOT been practicing. Nieto has been ruled out for game against Oilers; may not make it back into lineup before Christmas break. The other three are out “long” term it sounds like.)
The Oilers keep losing; losing streak now at five games. They lost Tuesday in Arizona, even after firing head coach Dallas Eakins on Monday, with GM Craig McTavish and AHL bench boss Todd Nelson taking the reins. (Some pundits are calling for a wholesale firing of the “Old Boys Club” in Edmonton – including the entire scouting staff which has done a horrendous job drafting, the GM and most of the front office.) From the outside, not much has changed, and the status quo is not working.
Niemi starting; Scott in for McGinn. Scrivens in for Oilers.
