US EditionHow the Golden Knights are preparing for challenges against Oilers in Round 2 of the playoffs
- The Vegas Golden Knights will open the Western Conference semifinals against the Edmonton Oilers on May 6, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena.
- The Oilers advanced after overcoming a 0-2 deficit to defeat the Kings in six games, aided by reintegrating key injured players like McDavid, Draisaitl, Kane, and Klingberg.
- The Golden Knights, fresh off a six-game series win over Minnesota, will aim to contain Edmonton's offense, which averages nearly five goals per game, while leveraging their own Stanley Cup-winning experience from 2023.
- Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard, who replaced Stuart Skinner mid-series, has won four consecutive games and is expected to start, while head coach Kris Knoblauch emphasized the new defensive challenges posed by Vegas's different style.
- The outcome of the series will hinge on Edmonton’s ability to handle injuries and counter Vegas’s defense-oriented approach, with both teams having split their regular season meetings 2-2 and advancing to the next round of the playoffs at stake.
