Edmonton Oilers vs. Vegas Golden Knights preview

The red-hot Oilers will try to push Vegas to the brink when they host Game 3 at Rogers Place on Saturday night, now holding a commanding 2-0 series lead after stealing both games on the road.

Edmonton rides a six-game winning streak into this pivotal matchup, with Connor McDavid orchestrating the offense to the tune of 14 points (2 goals, 12 assists) this postseason, while linemate Leon Draisaitl has been equally dominant with 13 points.

Vegas desperately needs to solve Edmonton's high-powered attack that's averaging 4.5 goals per game in these playoffs, with Jack Eichel (1g, 8a) and Mark Stone (4g, 4a) looking to spark a Golden Knights offense that's managed just three goals per game.

Special teams could prove decisive, as Edmonton's power play has been humming at over 23 percent while Vegas has struggled on the penalty kill, ranking 26th league-wide.

The defending Stanley Cup champions face their biggest test of the season, having dropped four of their last seven games and now needing to steal at least one game in Edmonton to keep their repeat hopes alive.
