Game day is here, and so is Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Edmonton Oilers are in Las Vegas for Game 1 of their highly anticipated second-round series against the Golden Knights. After dispatching the LA Kings in six games, the Oilers are rolling and looking for redemption after 2023's Round 2 loss to Vegas. On today’s edition of Oilersnation Everyday, we’re breaking it all down live from Sherwood Ford.

We’ll go through both teams' expected lineups and highlight where each side holds the advantage. Can the Oilers' depth keep producing the way it did against the Kings? Will Vegas’ defensive structure and physical presence slow down the McDavid-Draisaitl combo? We’ll tackle those questions while analyzing key matchups and areas to exploit.

The goaltending decision is front and center for Edmonton. Calvin Pickard stepped in and helped stabilize the crease in Round 1, winning three straight games. Does he get the Game 1 nod tonight, or does Stuart Skinner return between the pipes? Meanwhile, Adin Hill is expected to go for the Golden Knights, and we’ll look at how the Oilers can test him early.

We’ll also bring you our Sherwood Ford Giant Question, break down the latest game notes and lineup adjustments, and wrap things up with our game day Bet365 Betting Challenge. Plus, we’ll go around the league in our playoff report, as Round 2 action ramps up across the NHL.

To help us preview the matchup, we’ll also be joined by former NHL video analyst Steve Peters. He’ll offer his insight on how the Oilers can exploit Vegas’ systems, what to watch for tactically in Game 1, and his thoughts on the decision-making behind the crease.

The Oilers are four wins away from the Western Conference Final, and it all starts tonight in Vegas. We’ve got everything you need to know heading into Game 1, right here on Oilersnation Everyday.
