Golden Knights Stick to Plan Against Oilers' Offensive Firepower.
Despite the firepower of the Edmonton Oilers, the Vegas Golden Knights will stick to their plan of opening periods with their fourth line, consisting of Nic Roy, William Carrier, and Keegan Kolesar. The fourth line plays a simple style of hockey that doesn't generate much offensively but doesn't allow the other team much of anything either. The Oilers often send out their two best players, Draisaitl and McDavid, together to start games and periods, but the Golden Knights feel their fourth line is familiar with the situation and can be neutral against them. So far, the strategy has been successful for the Golden Knights.
