Game Overview
The Edmonton Oilers host the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of their NHL playoff series. The Oilers currently lead the series 2-1. The Golden Knights won Game 3 with a buzzer-beater, highlighting their resilience and ability to capitalize on late-game opportunities.
Key Factors to Consider

- The series has been competitive with the Oilers winning the first two games before the Golden Knights' Game 3 victory. Head-to-head matches often result in high-scoring games.
- Mark Stone's upper-body injury is a significant concern for the Golden Knights. The Oilers' goalie situation, with Stuart Skinner replacing Calvin Pickard, might influence their defensive strategy.

- The Golden Knights are highly motivated to even the series, while the Oilers aim to maintain their lead.
