The Oilers started their round one on nervous grounds as they conceded six goals in each of the first two games, but turned things around effectively winning the next four games on the trot. The Oilers are likely to play without Mattias Ekholm for the rest of round one and Alec Regula for the rest of the season due to their ongoing injuries.

The Golden Knights had back and forths with the Minnesota Wild as the side were trailing the series 2-1 at one point before winning three consecutive games and sealing their place in round two. The Golden Knights head into round two with a fully fit roster.
