Here’s who to back during Game 1 between the Oilers and Golden Knights.
, have home-ice advantage and looked great in a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in their Round 1 best-of-7 series.And is it warranted?
The Jets were a pretty trendy underdog against Vegas in Round 1, and after Winnipeg took the curtain-raiser, it looked like the skeptics were on their way to being proven right with the Knights.The Knights finished the series with a +9 goal differential at 5-on-5 and had the advantage in shots on goal, expected goals and high-danger scoring chances in the series. The Jets were banged up all series and had to play multiple games without No.
The Knights still deserve credit for a well-played series, but the Oilers will provide a much steeper test than the Jets did in Round 1. Not only did Edmonton look impressive in the business end of its first-round series with the Los Angeles Kings, but the Oilers’ hot run of form stretches much further back than that.
The Oilers established themselves as a serious Stanley Cup contender at exactly the right time of the season.
