The Edmonton Oilers will play the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Edmonton Oilers are 23-18-3 this season after they defeated the San Jose Sharks by a score of 7-1 in their last game. Edmonton out shot San Jose by a total of 41-26 and went 2-4 on the power play in the win. The Edmonton Oilers are averaging 3.56 goals per game, 3.35 goals against per game, 31% on the power play, and 73.2% on the penalty kill. Connor McDavid has led the Oilers this season with 35 goals, 44 assists, and 170 shots on goal. The projected starting goalie for Edmonton is Calvin Pickard, who is making his first appearance for Edmonton this year.

The Vegas Golden Knights are 28-13-2 this season after they defeated the Florida Panthers by a score of 4-2 in their last game. Vegas was out shot by a total of 39-33 and went 1-1 on the power play in the game. The Vegas Golden Knights are averaging 3.28 goals per game, 2.81 goals against per game, 25.6% on the power play, and 78.8% on the penalty kill. Chandler Stephenson has led the Golden Knights this season with 11 goals, 29 assists, and 67 shots on goal this season. The projected starting goalie for Vegas is Logan Thompson, who is 18-10-1 this season with a 2.66 goals against average and a .914 save percentage.

Edmonton is 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. The over is 4-0 in Edmonton’s last 4 in the third game of a three in four days situation. Vegas is 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 2-5 in their last 7 Saturday games. The over is 4-1-1 in Vegas’ last 6 home games. The under is 7-2 in these two teams last 9 head to head meetings.

Edmonton will be playing their third game in four days in this matchup, so fatigue may be a factor. Vegas has won four of their last five games and continues to play very good defense this year. The Golden Knights have allowed more than two goals in just one of their last four games, but will be facing a high-powered Edmonton offense in this game. I like Vegas here, especially with Edmonton on a back to back and Pickard starting in goal.
