Command Analysis

Vegas Golden Knights

Current form

The Golden Knights had an unpleasant evening the other day. In the T-Mobile Arena, the team lost to the Minnesota Wild with a score of 2:4, and, in truth, everything was decided in one short but devastating stretch. The guests literally blew up the match: three goals in a little over three minutes — and the hosts found themselves in the position of catching up. It all started with Mats Zuccarello's precise snap, then Zach Bogosian connected, and the third puck was sent into the net by rookie Michael McCarron. And that was just the first act.

In the second period, Vladimir Tarasenko increased the advantage. Vegas tried to get back into the game. Pavel Dorofeev converted the majority, and then Mitchell Marner scored the puck. However, goalkeeper Filip Gustavsson had a great match and closed the gate in the decisive minutes. After 63 games, the Vegas Golden Knights have 72 points and are in sixth place in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. There is a margin of safety, but the team is going through a difficult period — injuries and personnel changes are making themselves felt.

Edmonton Oilers

Current form

Edmonton isn't in the best of moods either. In Rogers Place, the team lost to the Carolina Hurricanes 3-6, allowing the opponent too much in attack. Despite Zach Hyman's double, first in the first period and then in the majority, the Oilers were unable to turn the game around. Vasily Podkolzin added another goal, but it wasn't enough. For Caroline, everything worked like clockwork. Jackson Blake scored twice, and Jordan Staal put an end to it by sending the puck into an empty net.

Tristan Jarry worked hard in Edmonton's goal, but even 26 saves did not save him from defeat. After the second period, the score was 1:3, the Edmonton Oilers tried to turn the tide of the meeting, but the shooting statistics — 16:32 — speaks for itself. The team is seventh in the Western Conference and is fighting for a place in the wild card zone with 68 points.

Tip and bets

TipVegas Victory

2.45

The matches between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Edmonton Oilers are always a separate story. The Canadian club has the advantage in personal meetings. Moreover, the Oilers have been feeling pretty confident in Las Vegas in recent years. But now the picture is a little more complicated. Vegas is missing Mark Stone, the team's leader and one of the league's smartest forwards. The loss is sensitive. On the other hand, the depth of the knights' squad makes it possible to compensate for such problems — there is someone to take the initiative in the attack. Edmonton's old-fashioned trio is Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Hyman. When this three starts up, the opponent's defense begins to crack. But the Oilers' own defense in recent games has left too many questions. If you look at the balance of factors, the Golden Knights looks a little more convincing.
