As teams jockey for playoff positioning, the San Jose Sharks understand the need to give an all-out effort every minute of every game to move up in the standings.
That mindset will be tested Saturday night when the Sharks take on red-hot Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers for the first time this season at SAP Center.
San Jose (28-18-8) is in a three-way tie with the Calgary Flames and Anaheim Ducks for third in the Pacific Division, one point behind the second-place Los Angeles Kings.
