It's the first time these two teams are facing off since the Golden Knights knocked out the Oilers in Game 6 of the second round of the 2023 NHL Playoffs. Keep an eye out for Vegas defenseman
Alex Pietrangelo, who caused a stir by slashing
Leon Draisaitl's hands in Game 4 of that playoff series. Pietrangelo got a one-game suspension for it but came back to play against Edmonton in the deciding game. The Oilers didn't do much to retaliate against him, except for Draisaitl pretending to slash him after a whistle.
