Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will look to take a 2-0 stranglehold in their second-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights, and we’ve got everything you need to know ahead of Game 2 right here on Oilersnation Everyday. The Oilers clawed back from an early 2-0 hole in Game 1 and powered their way to a 4-2 win on the road thanks to contributions up and down the lineup. We’ll dive into what made that win possible and what they’ll need to repeat heading into tonight’s crucial matchup.

We’ll kick off the show with our full lineup report, including another look at Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl staying together on the top line — a move that continues to create chaos for opponents. We’ll also talk about the return of elite depth scoring from guys like Corey Perry, Connor Brown, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and how that could be the key to pushing the Oilers deeper into the postseason. Plus, we’ll examine John Klingberg’s reliability and steady play on the blue line, which has helped settle things down defensively.

In goal, Calvin Pickard once again gets the nod after another composed, confident performance in Game 1. We’ll talk about his quiet consistency and whether he’s locking down the crease as the team’s playoff starter moving forward.

As always, we’ll run through our Game Notes, hit you with our Sherwood Ford GIANT Question, and give you One Big Take ahead of puck drop. We’ll also go around the league in our Boston Pizza Playoff Report, as the NHL’s second round continues to heat up. And of course, we’ll wrap with the latest edition of the Bet365 Game Day Betting Challenge, as Jay Downton looks to stay hot with his playoff picks.

We’re also excited to welcome Edmonton sports radio host Jason Gregor to the show for a Game 2 preview. He’ll give his take on the Oilers’ impressive forward depth, how Calvin Pickard has changed the narrative in goal, and what Edmonton must do tonight to take a 2-0 lead back home. It’s always a great chat when Gregor drops by, and you won’t want to miss his insight ahead of puck drop.

It’s Game 2 on deck, and the Oilers have a golden opportunity to take full control of this series — let’s get you set.
