The only series to be tied after four games has seen each contest won by the road team so far. If that pattern holds, it will be the Golden Knights’ turn for a victory in Dallas. Jack Eichel has been the best player for the defending Stanley Cup champions, and could be the difference-maker once again.

Edmonton executed a rather impressive 1-0 win in Game 4, sweeping both games in Los Angeles to put themselves in a great position to move on to Round 2. The Kings can’t control the matchups as they did at home, which should mean more offence for the Oilers than they had on Sunday.
