The top two picks from the 2015 NHL Draft will be featured in Oilers-Golden Knights series, but there is so much more to these Stanley Cup contending teams, too. Dixononsports breaks down the matchup.
The Oilers will always be led by the scoring exploits of McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Against the Kings, Evan Bouchard joined the party by producing 10 points from the back end .
For the second series in a row, Laurent Brossoit is facing a former team in the playoffs. The 30-year-old was more than up for the task of dispatching the Jets, posting a .915 save percentage in that series. Now he’s set to stare down an Oilers team he was a part of for a handful of seasons to start his NHL career, including when McDavid and Co. had their first taste of playoff success in 2017.
With more of the same offensively and enough saves from Stuart Skinner — or Jack Campbell. Edmonton was the top-scoring team in the regular season and the top-scoring team in Round 1 of the playoffs, even while facing a Kings squad known for playing a tough, stifling system. The Oilers will kill you on the power play, but also do more than enough damage at even-strength.
Well, staying out of the penalty box as much as possible would be a fantastic start. You have to know coach Bruce Cassidy is stressing the need for discipline with his team given the unfavourable combo of Edmonton’s lethal power play mixed with Vegas’ subpar penalty-killing we outlined above.
