  • Vegas Golden Knights host Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 after dropping the series opener at home
  • The Golden Knights need a win to avoid heading to Edmonton down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series
  • Below, see a three-leg, +275 Golden Knights vs Oilers same-game parlay for Game 2

The 2023 Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights find themselves in a must-win situation after dropping Game 1 at home to the Edmonton Oilers. Despite building an early two-goal lead, Vegas collapsed in the final two periods, managing just seven shots on goal during that span.

History suggests the Golden Knights should be desperate in Game 2, as NHL teams that take a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven series have gone on to win 86.3% of the time. Vegas simply cannot afford to head to Edmonton down 2-0 in the series.

Here is our expert Golden Knights vs Oilers same-game parlay for Game 2.

Golden Knights vs Oilers Same-Game Parlay Pick #1: Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline

The Golden Knights have been dominant as a home favorite this season, going 17-5-5 at T-Mobile Arena when favored by at least -125. Vegas has a 56.7% implied probability of winning Game 2 based on the current odds, which feels like solid value considering their backs are against the wall.

Vegas has gone 6-3-1 in their last ten games, scoring 33 goals while allowing 29. Their Game 1 performance was uncharacteristic, particularly their offensive struggles in the final 40 minutes, where they managed just one shot in the second period.

This is a veteran-laden roster that typically bounces back well after lackluster efforts. In fact, Vegas has gone 18-7-2-1 following a defeat this season, covering the spread 20 times.

Home Games After Loss8-3-1-066.7%9-3

The Golden Knights will make adjustments after their collapse, particularly addressing their anemic offensive showing. Expect a much more complete 60-minute effort from Vegas as they look to avoid heading to Edmonton down 2-0 in the series.

Golden Knights vs Oilers SGP Pick #2: Connor McDavid Anytime Point

McDavid continues to be the driving force behind Edmonton’s playoff success, extending his impressive postseason production with two assists in Game 1. His consistency makes this a solid anchor leg for our parlay.

The Oilers captain has registered points in six of seven postseason games this year. He’s currently the Conn Smythe Trophy favorite at +750, down from +950 before Game 1. McDavid has now recorded four consecutive postseasons with at least ten assists, the fourth-best streak in NHL history.

McDavid has been particularly effective against Vegas throughout his career with 29 points in 23 contests. Even when the Golden Knights focus their defensive attention on him, his elite playmaking ability makes him a threat to register a point on any shift. This high-probability leg helps anchor our parlay with strong value.

Golden Knights vs Oilers SGP Pick #3: Jack Eichel 3+ Shots on Goal

Eichel will be hungry to make an impact after Vegas’ collapse in Game 1, and his shot volume provides excellent value at -170. He has hit the three-shot mark in four of his last five playoff games, showing his willingness to put pucks on net.

Vegas generated just 22 shots in Game 1, with only seven coming in the final two periods. The Golden Knights will need more offensive zone time and shot generation in Game 2, and as one of their primary offensive catalysts, Eichel will be at the center of this push.

Apr 26, 25@ MIN629:57
Apr 24, 25@ MIN324:44

The table above shows that Eichel is consistently putting pucks on net. Furthermore, according to Natural Hat Trick, Eichel leads all VGK forwards with 34 shot attempts at 5-on-5.

With Vegas needing a strong response in Game 2, Eichel should see plenty of ice time and offensive zone opportunities. The Golden Knights will emphasize getting more pucks on net after their ugly offensive showing in the final 40 minutes of Game 1, making the -170 odds particularly attractive for this leg of our parlay.

With the 50% profit boost, this is a can’t-miss +275 SGP for Game 2. Vegas wants to even the series before heading to Edmonton, and we’re capitalizing on that desperation while also betting on the stars to show up.
