WOW. I am pretty surprised the poll results are so skewed to Vegas. I thought it would be fairly even at least, maybe a slight edge to the Oilers.
Vegas is missing Tuch, Pacioretty and Stone, probably their 3 best forwards. Plus Janmark who's a decent top 9 guy. They are also missing Martinez, a pretty decent top 4 dman.
So if you take those 4 forwards out of the mix, they are pretty light up front. Not to mention their centers are still lousy.
I think the Oilers will win this game as it's a division game, Vegas has been tops in the division for a few years. Many people assume they will be the top team again and the Oilers usually raise their play to the better teams. Plus they usually played Vegas well. They also had an easy game last night, not one was overly taxed. I am not concerned about playing Koskinen back to back at all. He had a pretty easy game save the first 10 mins and he's played what 4 periods in 2 weeks? I don't think he is tired and travel isn't a factor here.
Plus I flat out do not think Vegas is as good. I think losing Fleury is a big loss. He did win the vesina last year.
