The Oilers have had to mount comebacks in both games, but they’ve outscored the Knights, 8-3, at 5-on-5, and they’ve created more expected goals, high-danger scoring chances and shots on goal at full strength.

Golden Knights winger Mark Stone exited the game after only six shifts and never returned. He lost an edge in the neutral zone and collided with Perry on his way down, but played three more shifts before exiting for the final time with 6:20 left in the first period.
