Surprisingly the teams are meeting for the first time this season after Edmonton won in five games in the 2025 playoffs. The Oilers are home after a five-game trip in which they won three. Both teams played on the road last night and lost. Vegas will start Carter Hart, who has been a pleasant surprise after being called up by the Golden Knights. Hart is 3-0-2 with a 2.26 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. The Knights have won 15 of their past 20 December games and they have won six of eight playing with no rest. Conversely, the Oilers are 0-8 playing on no rest. Vegas is 19-7 its past 26 games against teams with losing records. Connor Ingram is set to make his first start in net for Edmonton. Take the Golden Knights.

Pro Picks
Edmonton at Vegas
Vegas has no choice but to come out with urgency and physicality, two things it didn't do on Monday as the Golden Knights were outclassed in every way in a 3-0 loss. The Knights have gone OVER four of six at home and they have four straight OVERS against teams that allowed two or fewer goals their previous game. Vegas has also gone OVER four in a row after scoring two or fewer goals. The Knights are 8-2-1 OVER their past 11 playoff games as favorites of -110 to -150. They will need to put more pressure on Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner, who despite his Game 4 performance, still has a 3.95 goals-against average and an .857 save percentage in this year's playoffs. He had allowed 15 goals his previous three starts. The Oilers are in a letdown spot knowing they still have a home game left. Take the Golden Knights to win, and bet this game to sail OVER the total.
