Vegas enters this series having home-ice advantage, offering them the chance to start the series off well. The Golden Knights have been one of the better home teams this season, so they will be looking to do more damage.
As for Edmonton, they are a battle-tested group and will be looking to keep the dream of getting back to the Stanley Cup Finals alive. The Oilers fell in Game 7 last season, so they are determined to change the narrative this year.
