Stuart Skinner will be the Oilers' starting goaltender. Olivier Rodrigue will back him up. Once again, Adin Hill is the Golden Knights' starting goalie.
This is arguably the most crucial game of the series for the Oilers. Without the goalie they have ridden to this position, they will need to tighten up defensively. The Golden Knights will come out like a storm, attempting to avoid putting themselves in a 0-3 hole.
