Global News
The Golden Knights outplayed the Edmonton Oilers with 5-1 win at Rogers Place, to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven second round playoff series.
The Vegas Golden Knights rolled to a convincing 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers Monday night at Rogers Place, to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven second round series.
The Oilers scored 2:45 into the game when Derek Ryan found Warren Foegele for a chip-in goal — his first of the playoffs.
The Golden Knights outplayed the Oilers the rest of the period.
Jonathan Marchessault scored less than two minutes after Foegele, then struck again in the final minute of the frame when he tapped in a pass from Jack Eichel.
Zach Whitecloud beat Stuart Skinner short side over the glove 7:25 into the second, then Eichel made it 4-1 on an open look after Evan Bouchard fell down.
Jack Campbell replaced Skinner, who allowed four goals on 23 shots.
With the teams playing four-on-four, Nicolas Roy chipped in a rebound, but the goal was disallowed after the Oilers successfully challenged for goalie interference committed by Alex Martinez.
Only 17 seconds later, Chandler Stephenson would get one that would count, and it was 5-1 Golden Knights after two.
