Vegas held serve on home ice with a Game 5 win, 4-3, to take a 3-2 lead in this series. Now Edmonton has to do the same to force a Game 7. Vegas is 2-7 after a home game where both teams scored three goals or more. Edmonton has outstanding firepower on offense, tops in the NHL in goals scored (3.96 pg), shooting percentage, and on the power play. They're 13-3 off a road loss, plus 22-11 against starting goalies with a save percentage of 91.5 or better. The Oilers' defense gets Darnell Nurse back in the lineup after a one-game suspension. Edmonton is 25-9 revenging a loss to an opponent as a favorite, including 17-5 in revenge mode when the opponent scored four goals or more. Play Edmonton.
