These two powerhouses split their regular-season series 2-2, setting up what looks to be a coin-flip battle between Pacific Division rivals.

VGK-EDM 2024-25 Results

Vegas holds the playoff edge after taking their 2023 series in six, but Edmonton actually leads the all-time head-to-head with a narrow 16-15-1 record.

Vegas Golden Knights: Balanced Attack, Clutch Scoring

Vegas survived a tough six-game battle with Minnesota in the first round. Tomas Hertl and Jack Eichel have been their offensive engines with five points each. The surprise hero? Brett Howden, who’s scored three goals—two of them game-winners, including an OT clincher.

Mark Stone and Shea Theodore have each put up four points, with Theodore blasting home two power-play goals from the point. Between the pipes, Adin Hill has started all six games, going 4-2 with a 2.83 GAA and .880 save percentage. His health remains something to watch after fighting through late-season injuries.

The Knights’ special teams have shown up when needed, with Theodore running the power play and both Reilly Smith and William Karlsson chipping in shorthanded goals.

Vegas has been getting contributions throughout their lineup, and they’ve dominated the faceoff circle with Nicolas Roy winning a ridiculous 62.7% of his draws. Noah Hanifin has been eating minutes on the blue line (23:07 per game), while Eichel leads their forwards in ice time (22:26).

Edmonton Oilers: Star Power and Possession Dominance

Edmonton enters Round Two after dispatching the Kings, powered by the dynamic duo of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, who are tied for the team lead with ten points each in just five games. Evan Bouchard has been a force from the back end, tallying four goals and seven points, while Draisaitl leads all forwards with a +6 rating.

Jake Walman tops the team at +8, and veteran Corey Perry has been deadly efficient with a 28.6% shooting percentage, providing clutch secondary scoring.

Goaltending has been a tale of two netminders: Calvin Pickard has stepped up with a 3-0 record, 2.62 GAA, and .904 save percentage, while Stuart Skinner has struggled in his two starts.

Edmonton’s power play has been absolutely lethal, clicking at 33.3%, and they’re peppering goalies with 36.4 shots per game—the most of any team still playing. The eye test matches the numbers too—the Oilers have owned the puck with a 58.3% Corsi and 63.4% high-danger chance share, both elite marks.

Injuries have tested their depth, but their big three of McDavid, Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman are healthy and producing when it matters most.

Knights vs Oilers Playoff Stats Breakdown

Oilers vs Knights Prediction: Who Advances?

This series has all the makings of an absolute classic. Edmonton brings star power and dominating puck possession, generating more shots, better scoring chances, and boasting a power play that can change games in an instant. Vegas counters with championship DNA, clutch scoring, and a roster that knows how to win when the pressure’s highest.

The goaltending battle could swing everything. If Hill gets hot for Vegas, their defensive structure and opportunistic offense might frustrate McDavid and company. But if Edmonton’s possession game and power play keep rolling like they have been, they could overcome their 2023 demons.

Expect this one to be tight, physical, and potentially go seven games. The Oilers’ offensive firepower and dominant underlying numbers give them a slight edge, but Vegas has made a habit of proving the analytics crowd wrong.
