Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas, despite advancing to the quarterfinals ahead of schedule, spent a lot of energy and emotions in the first round of the playoffs, where, after two crushing defeats from Minnesota, they scored two heavy victories in overtime. Then the team got in the way of a much more serious rival in the person of Edmonton, and the start of the series turned out to be a failure. Despite the fact that the Golden Knights played on the home arena, they could not contain the pressure of the opponent, first losing in regular time (2:4), and then losing in overtime (4:5).
In the first away match, the team was able to partially rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, winning the first victory (4:3). It was going to overtime, but just a second before the final whistle, the Knights scored the puck and took the lead, thereby avoiding additional problems. The attacking line showed an excellent game, but goalkeeper Hill again did not look reliable enough, reflecting only 85% of the shots. As expected, Vegas could not prove itself in the fourth match of the series and suffered a dry defeat (0:3). In three periods, the club scored only 23 shots on the Oilers' goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lehner and Pietrangelo will not be able to play in the upcoming match, and Dorofeev's participation in the match is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Vegas gets an average of 4.33 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, knights win 52.3% of face-offs.
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton did not approach the playoffs in the best shape, but during the draw it picked up a great pace and even managed to earn a winning streak of six matches in a row, which began in the series with Los Angeles. After its successful completion, the team went on a visit to Vegas, where they continued to delight the fans with their game and confidently defeated their opponent in the first match (4:2). In the return leg, the Oilers did not play as reliably defensively, which allowed the Golden Knights to make a comeback in the third period and almost led to a defeat. It came to overtime, where Dreisaitl scored the most important goal and got another victory for his club (5-4).
However, after returning to the home arena, the Oilers suffered their first defeat in the series with Vegas (3:4). The team was extremely unlucky, and just a second before the final whistle, the Golden Knights seized the advantage. Edmonton quickly rehabilitated itself in front of the fans and in the very next match won a landslide victory (3-0). Thus, Knoblach's team is now just one step away from the semi-finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Ekholm will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton statistically wins 48% of face-offs.
- On average, the oilers make 35 shots on target.

In three out of five head-to-head matches, Vegas opened the scoring
1.85The goalratein each period is yes
In four face-to-face matches out of six, the teams scored a goal in each period.
1.55Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, the bookmakers do not single out a clear favorite and give the teams approximately equal odds to win, which is quite strange. Edmonton is in great shape and demonstrates this in every match, consistently beating Vegas. Yes, the Golden Knights will play at home, but it's worth noting that they haven't won a single game in this series yet, and they also had difficulties in the quarterfinals. We believe that the oilmen will take advantage of the opportunity to advance to the semifinals ahead of schedule and win the final victory.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win the match in 2.00
Bet on the total
We should also expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. Edmonton is currently one of the most productive clubs in the league and thus pleases fans with very high performance. Vegas will also have to respond with an active offensive game, which means that we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than six goals in 1.65
Betting on the outcome of the first period
It is worth noting that Vegas, playing on the home arena, often creates serious problems for his opponents in the first period. We believe that the upcoming match will also be no exception.
Prediction - Vegas wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.78
