Calvin Pickard vs. Adin Hill

Here we go—Round 2, Game 1, and the intensity cranks up as the Edmonton Oilers (48-29-5) collide with the Vegas Golden Knights (50-22-10)! The series is fresh, the stakes are sky-high, and both teams are eyeing the prize.

In goal, we’re looking at a likely duel between Calvin Pickard and Adin Hill—two guys who’ve gotten it done, but under very different circumstances.

Pickard enters riding a wave of momentum. He’s won four straight, including a gutsy Game 6 performance that helped the Oilers erase a 2-0 series hole against L.A.

He hasn’t been perfect, but he’s been clutch—and that’s what counts in the playoffs.

Across the ice, Hill has also strung together three straight wins, most recently stonewalling the Wild to send Vegas through. His numbers (.880 SV%, 2.83 GAA) raise eyebrows, but he’s done enough to keep the crease.

Edmonton Oilers

With a 4-2 road win over the Flames, the Oilers improved to 48-29-5 this season. Edmonton covered the puck line as -1.5 goal favorites, and the total of 6 goals fell short of the 6.5-goal line.

All four of Edmonton’s goals came from different players, with Zach Hyman breaking a 2-2 tie at 9:50 in the third period. The Oilers added an empty-net goal to seal the victory.

Edmonton Oilers Stats

Edmonton’s offense netted 4 goals on 31 shots in their 4-2 win over Calgary. Leon Draisaitl opened the scoring with his 9th goal of the season, later adding two assists, bringing his total to 8. Zach Hyman scored his 3rd goal, which came on a power play, after previously assisting on Jeff Skinner’s 3rd goal of the year. Mattias Janmark added an empty-netter, his 2nd goal this season.

The Oilers scored twice in the first period, went scoreless in the second, and added two more in the third. Edmonton recorded 10 giveaways and tallied 6 assists on their 4 goals.

Defensively, the Oilers will look to build off their last game, where they allowed just 2 goals to Calgary. Stuart Skinner made 29 saves, finishing with a 93.5% save percentage. The Oilers’ defense also recorded 2 takeaways, 19 hits, and 25 blocks.

Vegas Golden Knights

With a 4-3 overtime win against the Utah Hockey Club, the Golden Knights improved their record to 50-22-10. Vegas, favored by -1.5 goals, didn’t cover the puck line, but the total of 7 goals surpassed the pre-game line of 6.5.

The Golden Knights fell behind 2-0 before rallying with four different players scoring. Brett Howden netted the game-winner at 2:15 into overtime.

Vegas Golden Knights Stats

In their last game, the Golden Knights fired 35 shots on goal and scored four times, including Brett Howden’s 6th goal of the season, which came 2:15 into overtime. William Karlsson netted his 2nd goal of the year, while Pavel Dorofeyev added his 7th. Noah Hanifin scored his 2nd goal of the season and contributed two assists, bringing his assist total to 5.

After a scoreless first period, the Golden Knights got on the board with Dorofeyev’s 7th goal. Hanifin followed with his 2nd goal of the season, and Karlsson added his 2nd goal as well. Brett Howden’s 6th goal sealed the win in overtime.

Vegas’ defense struggled early, allowing the first two goals of the game. The first came at 11:52 in the first period, and the second at 12:00 in the second. After taking a 3-2 lead in the third, they gave up another goal at the 13:10 mark. Adin Hill made 16 saves with a save percentage of 84.2%, while the defense recorded 10 takeaways and 22 hits.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Golden Knights -1.5 (Empty Net)

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Golden Knights to pick up on a win over the Oilers at home. With the moneyline sitting at -136, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Golden Knights straight-up.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Golden Knights to win and cover. Look for the Golden Knights to win this one by multiple goals over the Oilers.

If you’re looking at the the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will stay UNDER. I actually like this play more than the puck line if I’m being honest.
