CanadaCurrent form
After a poor start to the playoffs and two losses to Los Angeles, Edmonton came to its senses and began to show a great game, which allowed the team to quickly return to the series with the Kings, equalizing the score at home. In the remaining meetings, the Oilers did not leave any chances to their competitor, gaining the upper hand with a score of 3:1 and 6:4, respectively. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.
The club's form allowed it to continue its winning streak in the quarterfinals.

Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas showed excellent results throughout the regular season, but the team had serious difficulties during the playoffs. Already in the first round of the Stanley Cup, the Golden Knights beat Minnesota with great difficulty. After two crushing defeats, it seemed that the knights might give up, but they twice snatched Victoria in extra time and prevailed in the final match with a difference of only one goal. It is worth noting that Wilde acted as a clear outsider.
As expected, Vegas continued to experience difficulties in the quarterfinals, where in the first match it was defeated by Edmonton with a score of 2:4. The defensive line of the team was unable to cope with the opponent's powerful attacking line. In the second match, the Golden Knights realized their attacking potential themselves, but the problems in defense did not go away. Due to the constant failures and the weak play of goalkeeper Hill, he had to concede again (4:5 OT).
Disqualifications and injuries
Lehner will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Dorofeev and McNabb are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Vegas gets an average of 6.6 minutes of penalty time
- According to statistics, knights win 52.3% of face-offs.

Edmonton returned to the home arena with a comfortable advantage and now has a great chance to reach the finish line. Even on the road, the Oilers looked very confident and outperformed Vegas in many ways, and the support of the home stands should have an even better effect on the Oilers game. The Golden Knights often have difficulties visiting, so we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win the match in 1.75
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams have a very powerful offensive line, but the defense is not reliable. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 6.5 goals in 1.97
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Edmonton experienced difficulties at the start of the match, but after returning to the home arena, the team itself must create serious problems for Vegas already in the opening segment. We believe that the Oilers are quite capable of gaining an advantage at the end of the first period.
Prediction - Edmonton wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.75
