Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. The Golden Knights have shown new found life under John Tortorella, but the Oilers have found an upper hand in this matchup in recent meetings and I think this is a situation where the Oilers see the Ducks and the division title within arms reach and take care of business here to keep pace in the division. Give me the Oilers here.
