Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights Predictions: Oilers and Golden Knights Face Off in Western Conference Semifinals

Oilers Coming Off Impressive Series Win Over Kings

The Edmonton Oilers will face off against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. After an impressive 6-game series win over the Kings, the Oilers are confident heading into this matchup. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights put away the Jets in just 5 games, proving they are also a tough team to beat.

Oilers Skaters Expected to Have the Edge Over Vegas

Despite the Golden Knights being one of the best defensive teams during the regular season, the Oilers are expected to have the edge in skaters, with players like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the way. In the regular season, the Oilers won 3 of the 4 matchups against the Golden Knights, giving them a slight advantage in this series and in Game 1.

During their opening series, the Oilers had strong support from their bench, with Evan Bouchard scoring 10 points. With Brossoit as Vegas’ goaltender and an inconsistent regular season, the Oilers are expected to bring their A-game and put plenty of pressure on him. Though this could be a 6 or 7-game series, the Oilers are favored to win Game 1 with their skilled roster and momentum from their previous series win.

Over/Under Set at 6.5 Goals for Game 1

In terms of the over/under for this game, it’s set at 6.5 goals. While the Golden Knights have a strong defense, the Oilers scored 25 goals in their previous series against the Kings, with 4 games going over the total of 6.5 goals. Oilers’ goaltender Stuart Skinner, who allowed 3.43 goals per game in the opening round, is also a wildcard factor that could lead to more goals. With goalies being unpredictable in this matchup and high-scorers like McDavid and Draisaitl, fans can expect a game full of fireworks.
