The Edmonton Oilers took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Vegas Golden Knights with a convincing 3-0 victory in Game 4 on Monday night.
Adam Henrique scored a pair of first-period goals and the Oilers never looked back. Evander Kane added another in the middle frame for good measure.
Stuart Skinner turned in a huge bounce-back performance with a 24-save shutout. He was making just his second start of the series after Calvin Pickard was injured in Game 2.
The Oilers outshot the Golden Knights 32-23 and controlled 64.5% of the expected goals at five-on-five, per Natural Stat Trick.
Edmonton is now just one win away from its third Western Conference Final appearance in the past four years.
Game 5 is set for 9:30 p.m. ET Wednesday.
