Roloson also foiled Nils Ekman on a one-timer in front of the crease, and got a little help when Steve Bernier fired a shot off the crossbar in the second period.

He also credited the players in front of him for wiping out other scoring chances.

“When you’re eliminating passing lanes, it’s hard for them to get anything going,” Roloson said.

Toskala also played well, stopping Peca on two breakaways in the first period and flicking out his right pad to stop Horcoff’s breakaway in the second.

The Oilers fans razzed Toskala, who allowed 11 goals in the previous two games after giving up just five in the first three. The crowd serenaded the goalie with mocking chants of “Ve-sa! Ve-sa!”

The Sharks can also blame their exit on their woeful power play. San Jose was 2-for-27 going into the game and then went 0-for-8 on Wednesday.

This is the second consecutive season the Sharks have been knocked out by an Alberta-based team. They lost the 2004 Western Conference finals to the Calgary Flames, also in six games. San Jose was an overtime goal away in Game 3 from taking a 3-0 lead in the series but instead lost in the second extra session.

The turning point on the series came midway through Game 4 when the Sharks failed to protect a 3-1 lead. The Oilers stormed back in a 5-minute span to tie the game and then went on to win 6-3.

Notes: Edmonton fans cheered the U.S. national anthem so loudly that the noise drowned out singer Paul Lorieau. Oilers fans were asked to be on their best behavior after some in the crowd in San Jose before Game 5 booed the Canadian anthem. ... The Oilers are the only remaining team that has won a Stanley Cup title. They earned their fifth in 1990. ... Edmonton played its 12th game this postseason, the most of any team. ... Harvey’s assist was his first playoff point.
