Oilers rally for NHL-record fifth straight time to beat Golden Knights 4-2 in Game 1

  • The Edmonton Oilers rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 in Game 1 of their second-round series on May 6, 2025, in Las Vegas.
  • The Oilers set a new NHL record this postseason by winning their fifth straight playoff game in which they overcame a two-goal deficit.
  • Zach Hyman netted the go-ahead goal with just over three minutes left, and Connor Brown added an insurance goal shortly after, while Mark Stone was responsible for both of Vegas’s goals despite the team’s limited shot total following the second period.
  • Vegas experienced its first postseason defeat in a regulation game after holding a lead of at least two goals, a situation in which they previously held a 47-4 record, and continues to be without Pavel Dorofeyev due to an unspecified injury.
  • The Oilers' continued success highlights their experienced roster, with coach Kris Knoblauch noting their maturity, and both teams preparing for Game 2 scheduled Thursday night in Las Vegas.
