Kasperi Kapanen scored on a scramble in front of the net at 7:14 of overtime, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vegas Golden Knights 1-0 in Game 5 on Wednesday night to advance to the Western Conference final for the second year in a row.

The Golden Knights went more than six periods, 127 minutes, without scoring goal to end their season in back-to-back shutout fashion. The only time they’ve gone longer without getting on the scoreboard in the postseason came in 2020 when they lost in the Western Conference Final to the Dallas Stars.

The Oilers will play either the Dallas Stars or the Winnipeg Jets in the Western Conference Final. Dallas leads that best-of-7 series 3-1 with Game 5 on Thursday (9:30 p.m. ET; TNT, truTV, MAX, CBC, TVAS, SN).

The Vegas Golden Knights host the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, May 14 for Game 5 of their second round Stanley Cup Playoffs series.

Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner picked up his second consecutive shutout to oust the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5.

LAS VEGAS – Mark Stone will miss Game 5 of the Western Conference Second Round for the Vegas Golden Knights against the Edmonton Oilers at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS, CBC). He was replaced by Cole Schwindt, making his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut.

Early on, it looked like the Golden Knights were going to be run out of Rogers Place. The Oilers rode the energy off the home crowd to build a nice lead. Corey Perry, placed on a line with captain Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, opened the scoring several minutes into the first.
