The Edmonton Oilers delivered a commanding 3–0 shutout against the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night, taking a 3–1 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series. Adam Henrique ignited the Oilers’ offense with two first-period goals, while Evander Kane added a goal and an assist. Goaltender Stuart Skinner, stepping in due to Calvin Pickard's injury, made 23 saves to secure his first shutout of the 2025 playoffs and second of his postseason career. Reuters

Connor McDavid contributed an assist, extending his playoff point streak to eight games. The Oilers' defense stifled the Golden Knights, who struggled to generate scoring opportunities. Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy criticized his team's lack of urgency, stating, "We have to start better... They got to know this team is going to be hungry." Reuters

With the series shifting back to Las Vegas for Game 5 on Wednesday, the Golden Knights face elimination and must win three consecutive games to advance—a feat they accomplished in the first round against Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Oilers are one victory away from reaching the Western Conference Finals.
