The two teams split their regular season series 2-2, with each team winning one game at home and one on the road. The Knights were solid at home during the regular season with a home record of 29-9-3. Edmonton was mediocre on the road, going 23-16-2.
However, the Oilers did not seem to mind playing away from home in Game 1, only allowing 17 shots on goal.
The disparity in shot attempts was ultimately what cost the Knights the Game, as they allowed 28 attempts to Edmonton compared to their 17. It was an uncharacteristic game for the Knights, who have averaged 30 shot attempts per game throughout the playoffs.
Online NHL sportsbooks expect the Knights to get back on track tonight. As long as they can right the ship offensively, Vegas will have a good shot of winning Game 2 to knot up the series before heading back to Canada.
Bet on the Knights to win tonight’s game outright.
