Each team has the experience of a recent Stanley Cup Final appearance. The Golden Knights won it in 2023 before losing a seven-game series to the Dallas Stars in the first round last season. The Oilers are coming off last season's Game 7 loss to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final.

The Golden Knights focused their efforts two years ago on limiting Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

The Edmonton Oilers will meet the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Second Round on Monday at T-Mobile Arena. Two title contenders collide as we continue our Stanley Cup Playoffs odds series with an Oilers-Golden Knights Game 1 prediction and pick.
