Next Tuesday night the first game of the series between Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers will take place at 07:30 pm CST, a game in which Vegas is the favorite to win according to the bookmakers’ odds. Most of that favoritism is based on the great performance that the Golden Knights had during the last games of the series against Minnesota Wild, however their offensive performance is still far from their best possible shape.
Despite that lack of offensive effectiveness, it must be noted that the Golden Knights showed a very good defensive level during the last three games of the series against the Wild, so they’re expected to keep that defensive basis in this game to take advantage of playing the first two games against the Oilers at home. In addition, winning in the early game was key to getting into this round, so they’re expected to take the leadership of this game during the first two periods.
Meanwhile, Edmonton Oilers showed an incredible recovery after losing the first two games of the series against Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the playoffs, so it’s undeniable that they’re contenders to conquer the Stanley Cup championship. With that in mind, the Oilers are expected to look for a positive result during their first two away games of the series, so keeping an effective defensive will be key.
