Bruce Cassidy said Monday that he feels the way to beat Edmonton is to slow down the Oilers in the upcoming series which begins Wednesday night at T-Mobile Arena. Cassidy said VGK needs to limit Edmonton's chances and slow down the Oilers in the neutral zone. It will take a big effort for VGK's blueliners if they want to advance to the Conference Final. Brayden McNabb was back on the ice for the Golden Knights on Monday and is expected to return from a lower body injury. Shea Theodore, who missed the closeout game vs the Jets, is back at 100% after being sick. Cassidy also said VGK has to win D Zone faceoffs, especially and slow down entry passes. Dasco is concerned that VGK gave up five power play goals to Winnipeg in the opening series, while the Oilers had nine power play goals in the L.A. series. Conner McDavid said he feels this could be a series where each team is skating up and down the rink. This is a long-awaited series between the top two draft picks of the 2015 draft as McDavid squares off against Jack Eichel. The Oilers stayed in Southern California and practiced at a rink in El Segundo after beating the Kings on Saturday night. The two teams should have plenty of rest heading into what could be a 6 or 7 game series.
