The Edmonton Oilers have the Vegas Golden Knights on the ropes in their second-round series. They lead 3-1 and can advance to the Western Conference Finals with another win. The Golden Knights are going to bring desperation on the brink of elimination,

The Golden Knights have lost both Stanley Cup Playoff series they’ve trailed 3-1 in their history. Of the 352 NHL teams to face such a deficit, 32 have advanced, a success rate of 0.91 percent. Cassidy said his team hasn’t been good enough, in any area, to think about being the next long shot to pay off.

One more win and Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers will make their return to the Western Conference finals. They can accomplish that as soon as this Wednesday when they take on the Vegas Golden Knights for Game 5 of this second-round series between Pacific Division rivals at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
