Edmonton moved past the Los Angeles Kings in five games. It’s the fourth straight year they’ve reached the second round. Led by a consistent core, they enter this series with focus. They finished the regular season with 101 points, slightly below last year, but their performance remains strong.
Their offense is always dangerous. The team has scored with ease in recent playoff runs. Connor McDavid and his top-line teammates remain central to that strategy. They’ll need that momentum to challenge a deeper Vegas lineup.
Golden Knights ready to defend home ice
Vegas enters Game 1 with the advantage of playing at home. With 110 points, they finished second in the Western Conference. Also T-Mobile Arena is a tough venue for visitors, especially during the postseason.
The Golden Knights bring playoff experience and depth. They rely on structured play, physicality, and a confident goaltending unit. Shutting down McDavid and limiting power play chances will be key for their defense.
