The NHL Pacific Division is definitely one of the most even in the whole league as 6 out of 8 teams have real chances of qualifying for the playoffs by the end of the regular season, so it totally makes sense to expect the game between Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights to be one of the most attractive in next Saturday's schedule.

On the one hand, Edmonton Oilers had an amazing recovery after having a very irregular performance during the beginning of the season, currently having a streak of 4 regulation time victories in a row. In this regard, they remark as the second-best defensive line in the Pacific Division with 81 conceded goals, being necessary to note that Leon Draisaitl has turned into one of the best players in their last 5 games with 4 goals and 6 assists.

On the other hand, Vegas Golden Knights also have won their last 4 games in a row, results that guaranteed them the top spot of the Pacific Division with 41 points. In addition, they remark as the best offensive in their Division with 102 scored goals, but it’s worth noting that only 4 or less goals were scored during their last 5 games, an offensive performance that is concerning as consistency is the most appreciated value in the NHL.
