Goaltender Stuart Skinner vs. Goaltender Adin Hill

The Oilers have relied heavily on the performance of Stuart Skinner this season who has played a total of 16 games with 0.887% of saves made. Even with some notable performance in goal, Skinner’s average goals conceded per game stands at 3.09 which does hint at some flaws, such flaws will most likely be targeted by the Golden Knights’ strong and ruthless offense.

On the other hand, Adin Hill who plays for the Golden Knights has managed better stats with an average of 16 games played with 0.894 saves made and 2.85 goals against average. Hill’s stats may not be out of the ordinary and may not impress many but what they bring for the team is consistency which may be exactly what is needed to stifle the likes of McDavid and Draisaitl who pose a mighty threat to the Golden Knights when attacking.

Goalkeepers will undoubtedly take center stage in this one because of the high stakes in the game. Stuart Skinner will have to raise his game against a well balanced and talented Vegas offense while Adin Hill will be put under immense duel trying to shutdown two of the greatest scorers in the league. Whichever way you look at it then, this goaltender duel will certainly be one of the standout moments of the game as it will most likely determine the rhythm and flow of the match.

Oilers’ Offensive Powerhouses

Edmonton’s offense is anchored by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. The duo, with Draisaitl scoring 32 in 24 games and McDavid coming in with 31 points from 21 games, were essential to Winnipegs’ offensive tactics, especially in their last win against the Colorado Avalanche. Their ability to maneuver around the opposition’s defensive lines and make crucial plays will be important as they face the strong defense of the Vegas Golden Knights.

Vegas Golden Knights Statistical Leaders

Jack Eichel leads the point scoring for the Golden Knights with 36 points as he is at the heart of almost all their plays. Ivan Barbashev’s excellent finishing skills, having scored 12 goals this season, are nicely complemented by Eichel’s good puck distribution and vision. Their combination will be crucial in penetrating the defensive structures employed by the Oilers.

The attack led by McDavid and Draisaitl for the Oilers will meet resilient Golden Knights led by the goaltending of the reliable Adin Hill. With the tendencies and actual game shape, more than 65 can be worth money because the over 6.5 rate is more appealing given the likelihood of it being exceeded.

Given the nature of their close encounters in the past with the added factor of goaltending giving Vegas a slight edge, the value rests with them at the moneyline. Also, prop wagers on Eichel and McDavid to score would be of value as they are the key players in their teams.
