Both teams have played effectively during the 2018 NHL playoffs, with Winnipeg at 9-7 and Vegas winning 11 of its 14 games.
"All season long, Vegas has proved the naysayers and doubters wrong," remarked Oh. "But closing out the series on the road will be difficult."
Mark Scheifele leads the Jets in playoff goals with 14; teammate Blake Wheeler has racked up 18 assists. Jonathan Marchessault is tops on the Golden Knights with eight goals.
