Another one-game day is on the slate, as the Vegas Golden Knights host the Edmonton Oilers. Stuart Skinner and Laurent Brossoit patrol the creases. Edmonton kicked off the scoring in the first period with a Leon Draisaitl power play goal, his twelfth of the postseason, powered by Evan Bouchard and Connor McDavid. The Oilers added on with a Bouchard power play goal, his third of the playoffs, with assists provided by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman. Edmonton extended the lead on a McDavid shorthanded goal, his fourth of the postseason, going in unassisted. The Oilers padded the lead on Draisaitl's second goal of the game and thirteenth of the playoffs, fueled by Kailer Yamamoto and Hyman. Edmonton continued in the second period with a McDavid power play goal, his second of the game and fifth of the postseason, assisted by Nugent-Hopkins and Bouchard. Adin Hill replaced Brossoit in goal in the third period. Vegas got on the board in the third period with an Ivan Barbashev goal, his fourth of the playoffs, guided in by Mark Stone. This only made it 5-1, the final, with the three stars being Draisaitl, McDavid, and Bouchard, while Hyman and Nugent-Hopkins receive the honorable mentions. The series is tied at 1-1 heading to Edmonton.
