Leon Draisaitl scored his 52nd goal and had two assists and Mattias Janmark scored twice to lead the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-2 victory over the visiting San Jose Sharks on Thursday in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Evan Bouchard and Evander Kane also scored for Edmonton (50-23-9, 109 points), which wound up in second place in the Pacific Division. The Vegas Golden Knights (51-22-9, 111 points) wrapped up first place in the division later Thursday when they won 3-1 over the host Seattle Kraken.

Edmonton will open the Western Conference playoffs against the Los Angeles Kings (47-25-10, 104 points).

Stuart Skinner finished with 27 saves for his 29th win of the season, breaking Grant Fuhr’s team rookie wins mark of 28 set in 1981-82. It was the ninth straight win for the Oilers, who also extended their point streak to 15 games (14-0-1).

Connor McDavid had an assist, his league-leading 89th to go with an NHL-best 64 goals.

Steven Lorentz had a goal and an assist and Noah Gregor also scored for San Jose (22-44-16, 60 points). James Reimer made 31 saves.

Janmark gave Edmonton a 1-0 lead at the 4:16 mark of the first period when Reimer pokechecked the puck off his leg and into the net.

Draisaitl made it 2-0 with a power-play goal, slapping in a crossing pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins into an open right side of the net at 6:56 of the first. It was his 32nd power play-goal of the season, tied with Dave Andreychuk (1992-93 Buffalo and Toronto) for the second most in a season in NHL history. Tim Kerr set the mark of 34 with the Philadelphia Flyers in 1985-86.

Gregor cut it to 2-1 midway through the opening period with his 10th goal. He roofed a rebound of a Thomas Bordeleau shot from the left side of the crease.

Bouchard extended Edmonton’s lead to 3-1 early in the second period when he snapped in a spinning backhand pass past Draisaitl from the low slot.

Janmark made it 4-1 at 14:04 of the second with the 10th short-handed goal of his career. He scooped up a loose puck in the neutral zone and then put a backhand shot five-hole on Reimer.

Lorentz cut it to 4-2 at 18:48 of the second period with his first career power-play goal, deflecting in a Tomas Hertl pass.

Kane then sealed the win with 4:05 remaining in the game when he roofed a Draisaitl pass from the slot for his 16th goal.
