Oilers vs. Golden Knights Betting News

The Oilers avenged a 5-1 home loss with a resounding 4-1 win on Wednesday night. Edmonton got off to a fast start, netting three goals in the first period to take a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Nick Bjugstad opened up the scoring for Edmonton, scoring a wraparound goal near the seventh-minute mark. Moments later, Evan Bouchard slapped in a goal off a Connor McDavid feed. Mattias Ekholm then scored his first goal of the 2023 playoffs to extend the Edmonton lead to 3-0.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ second-period goal would give the Oilers a comfortable 4-0 lead going into the third period. The Edmonton defense continued to stifle any attempt at a Vegas comeback, conceding just a single goal in the third period. Nicolas Roy netted Vegas’ lone goal.

Stuart Skinner manned the net for the Oilers in the win. He finished the night 25-for-26. Vegas goaltender Adin Hill saved 29 of the 33 shots he faced.

Both teams had several power-play opportunities on the night. The Oilers had a numbers advantage six times in Wednesday’s contest but capitalized on the man advantage just once. Vegas had four power plays but the Oilers’ special teams managed to kill all four opportunities.

Edmonton seeks to be the first Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadiens’ 1993 season. The Oilers won the Stanley Cup five times in the 80s and will look to win their franchise’s sixth this year. Vegas famously reached — and lost — the Stanley Cup Finals in their first year of existence. The Knights are looking to return to the finals for the first time since their 2017 inaugural season.

Oilers vs. Golden Knights Prediction: Oilers Moneyline

The Edmonton Oilers boasted one of hockey’s top offenses this year. Behind the elite talent of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, there should be little surprise why the Oilers entered the playoffs as one of the favorites to represent the Western Conference.

Neither McDavid nor Draisaitle found the back of the net in Wednesday’s win, showing how deep and well-rounded Edmonton’s roster truly is. Expect another fast and aggressive start for the boys from Alberta, which is why the Oilers’ moneyline is our best bet in our Oilers vs. Golden Knights prediction.
