from David Staples of the Edmonton Journal,
Which team will survive it best? Both the Vegas Golden Knights and the Edmonton Oilers are without their No. 1 d-men for Game 5 of their NHL playoffs series.
Both Alex Pietrangelo and Darnell Nurse have been suspended for a game.
Which team can best cover off the massive hole left in their line-up?
Here’s the deal with Vegas:
Pietrangelo has the most time-on-ice in the playoffs of any Vegas d-man for all situations, even strength, short-handed and power play. He leads the team in time-on-ice per game played at 24:37, more than four minutes more than the next player. That’s a huge hole.
Vegas has used both veteran d-men Ben Hutton, 30, who shoots left, and rookie Brayden Pachal, 21, who shoots right like Pietrangelo.
