Vegas Golden Knights at Edmonton Oilers Preview & Picks

Edmonton are tipped to open up a three-game lead in this playoff series.

The red-hot Oilers have momentum firmly on their side after back-to-back wins in Vegas, and they have been perfect at home since the postseason began.

  • Edmonton Oilers are on a 6-game win streak
  • Edmonton Oilers are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings with Vegas
  • Edmonton Oilers are 10-3 in their previous 13 home games
  • 6 of Edmonton’s last 8 games have produced over 6.5 total goals

Head To Head

  • Edmonton Oilers lead the all-time series 17-13-2
  • Edmonton Oilers won 5-4 in overtime when the two teams last met on May 8

Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas head out on the road in a terrible position, having surrendered home advantage with back-to-back defeats.

The Golden Knights go to Edmonton knowing that they must win at least one road game to take the series back to Vegas, having lost 4-2 in regulation and 5-4 in overtime at home.

They earned their place in the playoffs by going 50-22-10 in the regular season to win the division, and they made a winning start to the postseason as they beat Minnesota 4-2.

Vegas stumbled after that, losing 5-2 at home and 5-2 on the road, only to rally with a 4-3 overtime victory in St Paul.

The Golden Knights then completed the job as they recorded back-to-back 3-2 wins, one in overtime at home and one in regulation on the road, to seal a 4-2 series success.

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton return home with the series firmly in their control thanks to back-to-back victories on the road.

The Oilers visited Vegas for the first two games of the series, and head back north of the border with a 2-0 lead thanks to a 4-2 win in regulation and a 5-4 victory in overtime.

They earned their spot in the playoffs by compiling a 48-29-5 record, only to make a slow start to the postseason as they were beaten 6-5 and 6-2 in Los Angeles.

Edmonton responded strongly though, starting with a 7-4 win in regulation and a 4-3 victory in overtime at home.

The Oilers then backed that up and secured a 4-2 series success, as they beat the Kings 3-1 on the road and 6-4 at home.

Verdict

A series sweep for either team looked unlikely before this series began, but Edmonton have given no reason to doubt them moving a step closer to one in Game 3.

The Oilers are on a red-hot run, have won the last four meetings and have now gone 12-2 in their last 14 at home.
