Vegas is an underdog despite winning the Pacific Division and having the best road record in the NHL (26-7-8). The Golden Knights are 27-17 against winning teams and 39-26 versus teams that average 2.85+ goals. Vegas is 14th in goals scored and 12th in shooting percentage, while the defense is 11th in goals given up and eighth in save percentage. They're on an 11-3 run on the road, plus 42-18 playing on one day of rest. Edmonton comes off a 5-1 win at Vegas but is 7-11 at home after a win by 2 or more goals, plus 18-24 at home after scoring 3 goals or more in five consecutive contests. The Oilers' defense is 16th in save percentage and 20th in penalty killing. Vegas is 25-11 revenging a loss to an opponent, including 13-6 revenging a home loss, and the underdog has won eight of the last 11 meetings between these division rivals. Play Vegas.
