Golden Knights lineup tonight: Vegas’ projected lineup for Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers | Stanley Cup Playoffs, Round 2, May 10, 2025

Tonight, the Vegas Golden Knights will look to steal a game on the road against the Edmonton Oilers.

After going down 2-0 in this best-of-seven series, Vegas has an uphill battle to make it to the conference finals. The team has come up short when it matters most, losing Game 1 4-2 before dropping Game 2 in overtime.

Now, with the series in Edmonton for Games 3 and 4, the Golden Knights will have to find a way to swing momentum their way, or face a closeout scenario on Monday when the two sides meet for Game 4.

As the Golden Knights look to fight back from a 2-0 deficit, they will notably be without Pavel Dorofeyev again, marking the defenceman's fourth straight absence as he deals with an undisclosed injury.
