Rely On Barbashev, Hertl Leading Golden Knights Bounce Back Win Over Oilers
Edmonton Oilers aim for commanding 2-0 series lead over Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday The Golden Knights were stunned in their first game versus the Oilers as Leon Draisaitl and company came back from a two-goal deficit with four unanswered goals for a shocking 4-2 victory. Vegas will look to come back and even up the series while Edmonton looks to take a commanding 2-0 series lead before heading back home. For bettors, this matchup provides a chance to capitalize on some of our recent strong trends, like our 31-21 record on our last 51 picks, including perfect records during Game 1 and 4 of the Maple Leafs-Senators series.

More NHL: Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Guide: Best Bets, Strategies and Future Options Golden Knights ML (-134) Golden Knights Over 3.5 goals (+104) Golden Knights Score First (-125) Tomas Hertl Over 0.5 points (-156) Ivan Barbashev Over 0.5 points (+142) It would be very surprising to see the Golden Knights drop both of their home games to start the series as they've done this just once in their last 19 home playoff games. We can expect a much harder effort in this spot and there's a pair of forwards that should snap point droughts in Tomas Hertl and Ivan Barbashev, who both have gone three games without finding the scoresheet. Barbashev dominated during the Golden Knights series versus Edmonton in 2023 with three goals and three assists for six points through as many games. More NHL: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers Betting Guide: Best Bets, Strategies and Future Options The 29-year-old Russian winger is listed on Vegas' top line and will most definitely continue seeing chances while playing with a superstar centre in Jack Eichel and the Golden Knights top playoff performer in recent years with captain Mark Stone. Hertl hasn't found the same success in this matchup with one point over his last six games versus Edmonton but that could mean he is due for a big game. The former San Jose Shark has been red hot to end the season and into the first round with four goals and three assists for seven points over a five-game stretch before his recent cold streak. He also plays meaningful minutes as he's slated on the team's second line and mans the top power play unit. The two should give the Golden Knights a massive push on offence while the Oilers continue to have defensive woes with three or more goals allowed in five of their seven playoff games so far.

Golden Knights take another step toward clinching Pacific Division with 2-1 win over Kraken
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Ivan Barbashev and William Karlsson scored for the Golden Knights and Vegas took another step toward clinching the Pacific Division with a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night. The Golden Knights would have secured the division, but Los Angeles remained alive with a 6-1 win over Anaheim. Vegas has a six-point lead with three games remaining; the Kings have four games left. A regulation victory by the Golden Knights or regulation loss by the Kings over that span will give Vegas the division and home-ice advantage through at least the first two rounds of the playoffs. Against Seattle, Adin Hill made 24 saves. The Kraken scored on a wacky sequence when Jordan Eberle hit the left post and chased after his rebound. As he slid into the net, teammate Jared McCann knocked in the puck while standing at the right post. Joey Daccord had 23 saves. Golden Knights forward Tomas Hertl played his first game since suffering an upper-body injury March 23 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He didn't have any shots. Vegas is 9-2-1 in its past 12 games. Takeaways Kraken: Seattle failed to take advantage of opportunities, not capitalizing on 10 high-danger chances over the first two periods, according to Natural Stat Trick. The Kraken had none in the third. Golden Knights: Hill continued his strong play by making several crucial saves. He's 12-3-1 in his past 16 starts. Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb kept the puck out of the net with 17 seconds left while the Kraken were on a 6-on-5 to prevent Seattle from tying. Hill didn't quickly get over to that side of the net. Key stat The Golden Knights are 18-4-1 against Pacific opponents and their final three games are in the division. Up next ___
