Vegas were leading in the series with a score of 2:0 after being defeated by Chicago – 1:3. But in that meeting, the Knights did everything right again and constantly put pressure on the opponent in its own zone and also made a huge number of shots on goal in each period. The luck was clearly not on their side that day and because of this, the result turned out to be disastrous. Shi Theodore managed to score the only goal, but not a single attempt to realize the majority failed. By the way, Fleury did not take part in the previous fight, so with a high degree of probability we will see him on the ice in the upcoming meeting.
Oklahoma has its own loss. In the confrontation with Miami, Chris Paul was injured. The ex-Houston player is now experiencing a second youth and is considered one of the leaders of the Thunder. But this time the “thunderous” ones will play without him. It is not yet known when he will leave the infirmary. Oklahoma had their last matches with varying success. On the one hand, Thunder beat Washington (121-103) and Miami (116-115), but on the other, they were defeated by Phoenix (101-128) and also lost to the Clippers (103-107 ).
