Fri May 09 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Golden Knights Aim for Series Tie Against Oilers in Game 2
**LAS VEGAS, NV** – The Vegas Golden Knights look to bounce back from their Game 1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers when the two teams clash Thursday at 6:30 p.m. PT at T-Mobile Arena. The Oilers currently lead the best-of-seven series 1-0 after a 4-2 victory on Tuesday.
Despite a strong start, with Mark Stone scoring two goals in the first nine minutes, the Golden Knights were unable to maintain their momentum, allowing four unanswered goals. Stone’s performance extended his lead as the active franchise postseason point leader with 70 points (36 goals, 24 assists) in 82 games. He needs six more points to become the all-time franchise leader.
Coach Bruce Cassidy emphasized the need for a complete 60-minute effort in Game 2, highlighting the team’s failure to elevate their game in the third period of Game 1. Players like Noah Hanifin and Brandon Saad stressed the importance of focusing on improvement game-by-game rather than dwelling on the series opener.
The Golden Knights boast a strong home record in Game 2s, holding a 7-6 record at T-Mobile Arena. Game 2 will be broadcast on ESPN, with pregame coverage available on Scripps Sports and KnightTime+. Fans attending the game will receive a gold battle towel courtesy of Ghost Energy, and various fan activations will take place at Toshiba Plaza before the game.
The Oilers’ offensive firepower, led by Connor McDavid (13 points) and Leon Draisaitl (12 points), remains a significant challenge for Vegas. The Golden Knights will need to find a way to shut down Edmonton’s top players and regain the offensive spark that led them to their early lead in Game 1. The series continues Saturday in Edmonton.
