The Vegas Golden Knights are gearing up for Game 5 of their second-round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers. Vegas finds itself down 3-1 in the series and will be looking to keep this series alive.

This isn’t the first time Evander Kane has been a pain to the Golden Knights, and he has helped bring a physicality to the Edmonton Oilers that has them one game from eliminating Vegas.

LAS VEGAS -- To stay alive, the Vegas Golden Knights need to look alive early in Game 5 of the Western Conference Second Round against the Edmonton Oilers at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS, CBC).

Vegas Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith remained defiant despite the Oilers putting his team on the brink of elimination.

With the Western Conference second-round series on the line and Edmonton entering the game with a commanding 2-0 lead, Smith’s last-second goal stunned the home crowd in Edmonton and cut the Oilers’ series lead to 2-1.
