Tony Cordasco, host Locked on Vegas podcast VGK was just beaten to a pulp, to be honest with you. Very tired, very fatigued. And Edmonton sets the tone early in Game #4, and that pace was just too fast for VGK early on. This is a team — I think and I said it before — that is much too fast for VGK.

But his defensive prowess has also been strong. It was on full display in Game 4 when he was on Golden Knights center Jack Eichel ’s hip pocket all night in a 3-0 win on Monday. And it’s given the Oilers a chance to close out the series in Game 5 at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS, CBC).

The Edmonton Oilers host the Vegas Golden Knights for Game 3 of their second round Stanley Cup Playoffs series on Saturday, May 10.

The Oilers have rolled the Vegas Golden Knights to the brink of elimination after a commanding performance in a Game Four win, 3-0.
