The Golden Knights have lost both Stanley Cup Playoff series they’ve trailed 3-1 in their history. Of the 352 NHL teams to face such a deficit, 32 have advanced, a success rate of 0.91 percent. Cassidy said his team hasn’t been good enough, in any area, to think about being the next long shot to pay off.

This isn’t the first time Evander Kane has been a pain to the Golden Knights, and he has helped bring a physicality to the Edmonton Oilers that has them one game from eliminating Vegas.

One more win and Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers will make their return to the Western Conference finals. They can accomplish that as soon as this Wednesday when they take on the Vegas Golden Knights for Game 5 of this second-round series between Pacific Division rivals at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Vegas Golden Knights will return to T-Mobile Arena Wednesday for Game 5 of their second-round NHL playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers with no room for error.

The Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers combined for 22 goals through three games of their Western Conference second-round series. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Jack Eichel have all been involved in the scoring, but one veteran player’s numbers stood out over three games.

The Edmonton Oilers dropped a heartbreaking game to the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 3 of their playoff series. With 0.4 seconds remaining in the game, Vegas scored the game-winning goal to stun the Oilers' home crowd.
