Here is a current NHL history of Associated Press:

Las Vegas (AP) -The Golden Knights concentrated their efforts two years ago on the limitation of the Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, a successful strategy that gave Vegas the series victory and prompted the way to win the Stanley Cup.

The teams meet again in the second round of the NHL playoffs, probably from Monday or Tuesday, and McDavid and Draisaitl have the attention of the Golden Knights again.

Vegas is also concerned about the rest of Edmonton's line -up, which is noticeably lower than at your meeting in 2023.

“We just spoke today how they seem to run four lines more than in the past,” said Golden Knights Shea Theodore defender on Saturday. “I think your depth is definitely better, and we have to prepare that.”

This depth showed itself in the 4-2 victory of the 4: 2 series in the first round against Los Angeles. McDavid and Draisaitl combined 21 points and four more had at least five points each. The fourth center of Mattias Janmark, who played for Vegas in 2020-22, achieved the winner goal in game 5 against the Kings.

“We don't hide from anyone because we feel like we have so many good players who can play against the top lines of other teams,” said Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch. “Connor and Leon are our two most valuable players, and they usually influence more than anyone every night. But they can only do it so often. We need other people who appear. It was nice to see other people in the La series.”

Jay Woodcroft was the coach of Oilers two years ago when McDavid and Draistaitl almost brought the team to the series victory and combined eight goals and six templates when the teams divided the first four games. Draisaitl was completely left out of the goal disc in the last two games. McDavid continues to produce three goals, but he had no templates.

The result was a team from Edmonton, which scored at least four goals in three of the first four games, which were held in five games in the last two.

Vegas won both games and introduced to the final of the Western Conference.

Now they stand in their way again, the golden knights hope to conquer their second title in three seasons, and the Oilers try to reach the Stanley Cup final for the second time in a row. Edmonton brought Florida to seven games last year before thrown the Panthers with the trophy.

“You have changed your head coach and use your deep players more,” said Bruce Cassidy, coach of Golden Knights. “Obviously they still rely on their two big boys, but they won with depth against La games.”

Cassidy said he did not know whether the Oilers McDavid and Draistaitl would put them on the same line or split them off. What makes garlic could affect the strategy of the golden knights, but maybe not.

The Golden Knights found great success in putting the centers Jack Eichel and William Karlsson in the top line with Captain Mark Stone in the 4-2 victory of the first round against Minnesota. Eichel's line without Karlsson at the beginning of the series was exceeded and exceeded by the top line of the Wildto of Kirill Kaprizov and gave 10 chances to two.

In the last three games with Karlsson in the upper line of the Golden Knights, they had the advantages in all three categories.

Vegas will try to replicate these back-end services for the entire series against the Oilers.

“Both teams have a fairly high -quality talent,” said Eichel. “The Oilers rely on Connor and Leon. The rest of their group had a big factor to beat the kings.

“We know that it will be a hard series.”

Top players stay outside

Knoblauch said, the defender of Oilers Mattias Ekholm, who did not play against the kings because of an unknown injury, are against the golden knights. Ekholm, who scored nine goals and 24 templates in 65 games in the regular season, was part of the top defensive couple with Evan Bouchard.

Cassidy said Pavel Dorofeyev, who led the Golden Knights with 35 goals this season, remains with an unknown injury every day. He was injured against the wilderness late in game 5.
