Down 0-2 in the series, the Vegas Golden Knights face a must-win situation at home to keep their conference finals hopes alive. But the Edmonton Oilers are firmly in control, outperforming the defending champions across all key metrics — especially when it comes to staging comebacks. The Oilers have now won six straight playoff games after trailing at some point — a new NHL record. One thing’s certain when these two meet: goals are guaranteed.
Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have been electric offensively, racking up 36 goals across eight playoff games — an average of 4.5 per night. Their big three of Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins have combined for 36 points, while the supporting cast is stepping up too — Vasily Podkolzin and Viktor Arvidsson were pivotal in Game 2, notching a goal and three assists between them. That said, the goaltending remains a vulnerability for the Oilers, with an average save percentage hovering around 85%. Unsurprisingly, seven of their eight playoff games so far have seen six or more goals.
Vegas Golden Knights
The Golden Knights have shown early spark in both games but failed to sustain it. Victor Olofsson found the net twice last time out, while Jack Eichel added three assists. The Golden Knights are still putting up three goals per game, but their defensive unit is wilting under pressure, conceding an average of 3.5 — with six of their eight postseason matches also hitting the over on 5.5 goals.
Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
Both teams prioritise attack, and their defences struggle to keep up with the pace of the games. As a result, matches involving these clubs are consistently high-scoring affairs, and this game is unlikely to be an exception.
