Oilers and Golden Knights Set For Thrilling Second-Round Series

The Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights will face off in the second round of the playoffs after defeating the Kings and Coyotes, respectively, in the first round.
Edmonton has the league's best power play and two elite scorers in Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, while Vegas has a staunch defense and balanced scoring across its lineup.
Edmonton won the regular-season series 3-0-1, but Vegas has home-ice advantage as the higher seed.
The series is expected to be closely contested, with Edmonton slightly favored to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Strong special teams and goaltending performances will likely determine which team moves on.
