US EditionOilers look to clinch second round series over the Golden Knights in game 5
- The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 1-0 in overtime on May 14, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena in Game 5 of their second-round playoff series to eliminate the Knights.
- The Oilers secured the win after years of depth challenges and the Knights lost captain Mark Stone to an upper-body injury sustained in Game 3, which affected their lineup and performance.
- Kasperi Kapanen scored the overtime goal at 7:19 after both teams played strong defense and goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Adin Hill made 24 and 31 saves respectively, with Skinner earning his second consecutive shutout.
- Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch explained that since the team was performing strongly, they chose to maintain the existing lineup, emphasizing the steady leadership from McDavid and Draisaitl throughout the series.
- With the Oilers advancing, they will face Dallas or Winnipeg, while the Golden Knights, who had strong defensive games, begin a summer of reflection after exiting the playoffs by mid-May for the second consecutive year.
