Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers head-to-head record
The Edmonton Oilers, who have defeated the Vegas Golden Knights three times in a row, including 4-2 in Game 1 of this series on the 7th of May 2025, seem to have the advantage going into this game based on their past five head-to-head meetings. Over that time, the Oilers have outperformed the Knights, demonstrating their attacking prowess, especially in the match on the 15th of December when they scored six goals. Even though Vegas had consecutive victories previously in the season, with a close 1-0 shutout on the 4th of December, Edmonton's current domination indicates they have figured out a way to get past the Golden Knights' barrier. The Oilers might take a decisive 2-0 series lead if they keep up this momentum.
