The Vegas Golden Knights are poised to tie their playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4, following a dramatic victory in Game 3, where they netted a game-winning goal in the dying seconds. However, their chances hinge on the availability of Mark Stone, who is listed as a game-time decision after sustaining an injury in the last match. Stone's leadership on the ice is vital for the Knights, and his absence would be deeply felt as they strive for a win to head back home with momentum.
Vegas has been particularly strong at home this season, and securing a win in Game 4 would set the stage for an exciting series. The Golden Knights have shown resilience in the face of adversity, as evidenced by their response when Stone left the ice during Game 3. Forward Ivan Barbashev noted the collective effort of the team to step up in Stone's absence. With the pressure mounting, Game 4 is not just crucial for this series but may define the Golden Knights' playoff journey.
