One of the most unexpected results in the second round of the NHL playoffs came when Edmonton Oilers defeated Vegas Golden Knights last Tuesday night in the first game of the series between them. With that in mind, the Golden Knights are expected to take the second game of the series with more seriousness as their offensive players were totally nullified during the first game of the series.
When looking deeper at Vegas Golden Knights’ performance on the first game of the series, only two players were able to shoot more than two times on target, so the main expectation for this game will be having a higher effectiveness from Victor Olofsson and Shea Theodore if they can keep on top as the most dangerous offensive players in Vegas’ squad. Nevertheless, it cannot be ignored that none of the most productive players of this team were able to shoot at least one time on target during the second period in Game 1.
On Edmonton Oilers’ side, this Canadian team took advantage of the great momentum they built during the first round, so they’re expected to try to finish with the series as soon as possible to avoid any overcoming from Vegas. However, it must be noted that their strategy during the first game fully depended on taking the offensive initiative during the first two periods of the game, in which totally dominated with a huge number of shots on target.
