Maroon scores twice, Oilers win fourth in a row to grab second in Pacific
EDMONTON — With their first playoff berth in more than a decade already secured, the Edmonton Oilers now seem to have their sights set even higher.
Patrick Maroon scored a pair of goals as the Edmonton Oilers took over sole possession of second place in the Pacific Division with a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
“This is playoffs for us. We are going to be playing these teams eventually, whether it is the first round, second round, third round, whatever,” Maroon said.
“We have to continue to be in their face and try to find ways to win and make them not want to come here and play us. That is what we are set up to do. We want to make them scared and make sure they know that we are a good hockey team.”
