In 32 all-time meetings, the Oilers lead the series 17-13-2.
The Knights are 8-7-1 all-time against the Oilers at T-Mobile Arena.

Vegas goes from facing Minnesota's scoring machine Kirill Kaprizov to Edmonton's double-dose of offense in Hart Trophy finalist Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid.
McDavid, who finished the regular season with the league's sixth-highest 100 points, leads all skaters in the postseason with 11 points (2 goals, 9 assists). Draisaitl is tied with three others with 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) this postseason.
"That'll be a fun series," veteran defenseman Brayden McNabb said. "They got the two-headed monsters who are two (of the top) players in the league, top five, whatever you want to categorize it, but it'll be a challenge for sure.
"I think they're a little bit more well-rounded than we saw them (in 2023), a little bit more depth for sure in all four lines, so we're gonna have to be on our game. We're gonna have to know who's on the ice and manage pucks, and it's gonna take everyone. We're gonna need everyone, use our depth. Hopefully, that helps us in the long run."
