EDMONTON, Alberta — The Vegas Golden Knights will return to T-Mobile Arena Wednesday for Game 5 of their second-round NHL playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers with no room for error.

Adam Henrique had two goals, Stuart Skinner made 23 saves and the Oilers beat the Golden Knights 3-0 on Monday night to take a 3-1 series lead. Evander Kane had a goal and an assist for Edmonton, and Connor McDavid picked up an assist.

The Oilers need one more win to advance, with the initial opportunity Wednesday in Las Vegas.

Skinner was once again in net for Edmonton after replacing backup Calvin Pickard, who had rattled off six consecutive wins before getting injured in Game 2. Skinner, who had a 5.36 goals-against average coming into the game, improved to 1-3 in the postseason.

Adin Hill made 29 stops for the Golden Knights, who posted a dramatic 4-3 victory in Game 3 on Saturday night but couldn't carry over the momentum.
