Vegas started their playoffs poorly. The team was defeated by Minnesota in overtime (0:1). But the club came to its senses and was able to win a landslide victory in the return match with a score of 3:1. Goalkeeper Fleury should be given credit for saving 87% of shots. Then the “Knights” had to play on the road, where the team won two more victories (5:2 and 4:0). The Golden Knights showed excellent defensive play, preventing the opponent from realizing most of the dangerous moments. Now “Vegas” is on the verge of reaching the quarter of the Stanley Cup.
Edmonton simply lacked the experience and depth of the squad to compete with Winnipeg. For the Neftyaniks, by and large, only the first link creates dangerous moments, in which McDavid and Dreiseitl play and the rest of the hockey players are distinguished by effective actions on the court quite rarely. For example, in the previous fight Leon Drazaitl scored a double and an assist, but uncertain defensive actions led Dave Tippet’s squad to another defeat. After that, “Edmonton” probably lost heart and can hardly claim something in this series. More todays NHL predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
