Recap: The Golden Knights were seeking to even up the series with a Game 4 victory in Edmonton. With under two minutes into the game the Oilers took an immediate lead. The opening period was messy with multiple penalties for each team. Once things settled down the Oilers scored again taking a 2-0 advantage.

Both teams traded chances in the middle frame but only Edmonton was able to find the back of the net. After 40 minutes the Oilers held on to a 3-0 edge.

Edmonton defended and played conservatively in the final twenty minutes. Vegas had a handful of quality chances but Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner stood tall and completed the 3-0 shutout.

The Golden Knights drop Game 4 and now trail the Oilers 3-1 in the best-of-seven game series. The two teams will face off again on Wednesday night in Las Vegas. Puck drop for Game 5 is scheduled for 6:30 PM PT. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: It only took a few minutes for this game to pick up in intensity and unfortunately, the Golden Knights did not respond to it as well as the Oilers did. Edmonton was flying around and VGK couldn’t seem to get their feet out of the mud. They allowed chances all around the net and ultimately found themselves in a dangerous hole. Then, their pushback just wasn’t strong enough. The forecheck never ramped up, they never found a way to spend much time in the O-Zone, and their low-to-high game paid no dividends. Getting shutout in a playoff game always hurts, doing it to a guy sporting a +5.00 GAA is devastating. (Recap by Ken)
