Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 5/12/25, 5:42 PM  by Edgar Jibran in NHL Picks

The fourth game in the NHL playoffs’ series between Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights, will take place next Monday night at 07:30 pm CST. For this game, the Oilers are expected to be a more offensive team in comparison to the third game, in which only Connor McDavid and Corey Perry were able to shoot three or more times on target during the game.

In this regard, it must be noted that the Oilers weren’t able to generate any significant dangerous opportunities during the second period, a fact that cost them a lot as the two-goals advantage they got during the first period was practically immediately lost. With all that into consideration, the offensive weight of players like Leon Draisaitl and Viktor Arvidsson is expected to be recovered for this game.

On Vegas Golden Knights’ case, this team took advantage of the uncertainty that Edmonton lived and won an important game for their comeback aspirations, having Reilly Smith as the most valuable player as he scored twice and was one of the players along with Tomas Hertl who shot at least one time during the three periods. Additionally, despite not being able to attack that frequently, William Karlsson and Nicolas Roy had a great effectiveness that allowed them to score one goal each.
