The Knights took that series in six games, with a critical win in Edmonton to clinch it. Overall, in 32 meetings, Edmonton holds a 17-13-2 edge. At home at T-Mobile Arena, Vegas is 8-7-1 against the Oilers. Having defeated Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov in Round 1, Vegas now faces Edmonton's dynamic duo, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. That'll be a fun series, veteran defenseman Brayden McNabb said. They got the two-headed monsters who are two (of the top) players in the league, top five, whatever you want to categorize it, but it'll be a challenge for sure. I think they're a little bit more well-rounded than we saw them (in 2023), a little bit more depth for sure in all four lines, so we're gonna have to be on our game. We're gonna have to know who's on the ice and manage pucks, and it's gonna take everyone. We're gonna need everyone, use our depth. Hopefully, that helps us in the long run. The Hart Trophy contender, McDavid, had tallied 100 points during the regular season and currently leads the playoff scoring chart with 11 points (2 goals, 9 assists). Draisaitl is second with 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists).
