Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers head-to-head record
The Edmonton Oilers have a slim advantage against the Vegas Golden Knights based on their previous five matches, having won three of them, including their recent games on the 2nd of April 2025 (3-2) and the 15th of December 2024 (6-3). However, as evidenced by their 1-0 success on December 4 and their 4-2 success in November, the Knights have shown their ability to contain Edmonton's potent offense. Game 1 is probably going to be a close match because both sides are trading victories and showing that they can outplay one another. The Golden Knights' superior penalty kill and diversified scoring might change the outcome if they maintain discipline and take advantage of Edmonton's poor shorthanded advantage. Edmonton's offensive firepower, spearheaded by Draisaitl and McDavid, could give them the advantage if Vegas can't stop them on the power play. Anticipate a hard-fought, fast-paced beginning in which special teams will be crucial.
