00:00we start with our recap of last night in the nightcap on the strip in viva las vegas but it's

00:06edmonton who had a much better time in sin city than the golden knights on home ice in overtime

00:13after a quiet game from leon dry sidle and conor mcdavid mcdavid the exit the assist dry sidle the

00:20winner as edmonton wins in ot five to four over vegas they are up now two games to nothing in

00:29this second round set so chris what statement did the oilers make taking both games in las vegas

00:35oh it's huge and that's one that vegas despite being down two goals in the third period being

00:40able to come back in that game that's one that they let slip and they needed that win i mean

00:44they're a really strong road team only edmonton had more wins in the pacific division on the road

00:49than vegas so they're still in this thing but down to nothing and you said it mcdavid and dry

00:54settle were fairly quiet in that game of course steal the headlines with a beautiful move by

00:58mcdavid sending over to dry settle for the overtime winner but jack eichel and company did a really

01:02good job eliminating the high danger chances and the scoring opportunities from that top line and

01:07they still lost that game you see calvin pickard there he's been the better goalie of the two he

01:12has outplayed aiden hill so far in this series and that to me has been the difference and apart from

01:18edmonton's top guys what i've really noticed is the depth scoring evander kate didn't play all year

01:23long guys he has five points in seven games in the playoffs he's on a line with zach hyman who had

01:29a bad regular season he's got seven points in eight games in the playoffs nugent hopkins is the center

01:34between those two guys he has eight points during a six game point streak so the oilers are getting

01:38secondary scoring right now vegas is without pavel dorofayoff who led the team in shots on goal and

01:43goals we'll see if he comes back but right now edmonton is feeling pretty good heading back home where

01:49they've been a dominant team in the playoffs especially over the past few years
