LAS VEGAS -- The Vegas Golden Knights host the Oilers for Game 2 of this series on Thursday night, as the Second Round of NHL action continues. The Golden Knights lost game one, meaning that they are down 1-0 heading into this best-of-seven series. The winner of the series will advance to the Western Conference Final.
The Golden Knights, if they are going to head into Edmonton with the series tied 1-1, will need to play a full 60-minute game well. The first 10 minutes had the Golden Knights' best moments with the two goals and the opportunities they created, they will need to do more of that not only tonight, but for the rest of the series going forward.
