THE Vegas Golden Knights welcome the Edmonton Oilers for the match 2 From this series of second round of the NHL playoffs.

Analysis of the forces involved
Vegas Golden Knights
Experienced and robust team, the Golden Knights are counting on a deep workforce with a disciplined defense and a well -balanced attack. They won 48 of their 74 games this season as a favorite. Of the 60 games where their rating was less than 1.75 (equivalent to the American -135), they won 41 victories -a strong indicator of their regularity.
Edmonton Oilers
Led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, the Oilers are among the most explosive teams offensively in the League. Although often outsiders, they have already won 10 games this season when they were not favorites. Their effectiveness on the PowerPlay is a formidable weapon, but their defense sometimes remains vulnerable against well -organized teams.

Match prognosis
After a defeat in the first game, the Golden Knights will not have the right to make mistakes in front of their audience. Their home history is solid, and they are renowned for their ability to rebound quickly in the playoffs.
The oilers have certainly won match 1, but they will have to contain a revengeful and very physical vegas. If McDavid and Draisaitl continue to perform at a high level, they will have a chance. Nevertheless, the depth and experience of Vegas can make the difference in this kind of crucial match.
