The Golden Knights have been the top dog, and if the Oilers want to win the division they need to be able to defeat Vegas. — In last night’s post-game press conference, Connor McDavid twice mentioned how much he is looking forward to tonight’s game. They are 25th in shot slots (15/game) and 26th in inner slot shots (7.3). If you are curious about Edmonton’s defending, they are 13th in slot shots, 14th in inner slot shots and 25th in slots passes.
