You know what’s cooler than the Oilers winning three straight games? Four games. Know what’s cooler than the Oilers winning for straight games? You guessed it. Five. Five straight games. And while Thursday’s win over the Chicago Blackhawks wasn’t without its speed bumps (read: posts), Edmonton found a way to win even when things didn’t…
The Blackhawks were officially eliminated from playoff contention night on Thursday night in Edmonton after a 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
After a scoreless first period and with Spencer Knight briefly in the locker room while dealing with an equipment issue, Adam Henrqiue scored the game’s first goal on a breakaway that he finished after Arvid Soderblom made the initial save.

Game Preview
Chicago heads away from home ice for the final time this season, kicking off a three-game road trip in Edmonton against the Oilers on Thursday night.
The Oilers may just be clicking at the right time, entering this game as winners of four straight and with a 9-4-1 records in their last 14 games. Playoff seeding is still yet to be decided in the Pacific, with Anaheim and Vegas also fighting with the Oilers for divisional supremacy. All three teams have played 75 games, with Anaheim up top ...
The Edmonton Oilers lineup will have a bit of a different look on Thursday as the Chicago Blackhawks roll into town. While Tristan Jarry will start between the pipes, the Oilers might be without forward Zach Hyman, who head coach Kris Knoblauch ruled a game-time decision. Hyman wasn’t on the ice for Wednesday’s practice with…
The Oilers are riding a season-high four-game winning streak, and with the Ducks dropping three consecutive games, Edmonton has suddenly put itself within striking distance of first place in the Pacific Division. With the basement-dwelling Blackhawks in town, this is a chance to increase the pressure on a young Anaheim team. Chicago Blackhawks @ Edmonton…
During the second period of Tuesday’s game against the Jets, as a 1-0 Hawks lead became a 3-1 deficit thanks to a pair of quick Winnipeg goals in the second, some idiot posted this online:

A touch dramatic? Probably. It wasn’t just that the Hawks were suddenly down two goals, it’s that a promising first period had — once again! — bee...
With their win over the Chicago Blackhawks, the True North franchise pulled within a point of the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot while moving up the standings to sit with the National Hockey League’s 23rd best record. Yet, the races are so tight at this point of time, that situation changed with last night’s slate of games.
In a contest that the Winnipeg Jets would have been very interested in since the clubs involved are just ahead and behind them in the wildcard race, the Los ...
The magic number the Edmonton Oilers are focused on isn’t the one used in nuclear physics. It’s the number of points the Oilers need to clinch their playoff spot. That number for the team is 10. Sure, it’s a formality at this point for a team with 98.9 per cent odds of making the post-season,…

The Blackhawks rallied from a 3-1 deficit to force overtime but could not pick up the victory, losing 4-3 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night at the United Center.
About five minutes into the first period, Chicago went ahead 1-0 on the first NHL goal of Anton Frondell’s career:

The Blackhawks have a quick stop at the United Center on Tuesday night before another road trip begins later this week, with Jonathan Toews and the Winnipeg Jets visiting 1901 W. Madison this evening.
When these two teams met four weeks ago in Manitoba — a 3-2 Jets win in overtime — Winnipeg’s playoff hopes seemed unrealistic, with the Jets then being 10 points out with 23 games remaining and four teams in the way. Time continues to be a dwindling resource but the Jets are making it inter...

The pendulum swung every way possible last week for the Islanders. An inexcusable loss to the lowly Blackhawks made the season look over. […]

After a terrible loss to the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday evening, which really decimated the New Jersey Devils’ longshot playoff hopes, I was looking for one thing above all in the team tonight: whether or not the Devils would play the game for a full 60 minutes and give their best effort. And to be honest, […]
The Chicago Blackhawks closed out their road trip with a 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Sunday, blowing the lead three times in the process.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring 4:19 into the game. Jake Allen was slow playing the puck behind the net, so Anton Frondell swept in to steal it and set up Ilya Mikheyev out front for an open-net goal, making it 1-0.

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their road trip with a stop in New Jersey to face the Devils, looking to salvage something, anything , from a stretch that’s quickly gone off the rails.
It’s been a while since the Blackhawks last saw the Devils — all the way back in mid-November — and the version of this team now feels pretty different from the one that was still hovering around the playoff picture at the time. The Devils spent the first couple of months flirting with relevance in the Easte...

The Flyers are back in action tonight for the first game of this weekend’s back-to-back. They’ve taken this show on the road, heading to Detroit to face off against the Red Wings and looking to build on the momentum from Thursday’s huge win over the Blackhawks, and for a chance to remain right in the thick of the playoff race. It’s make-or-break time again, folks!
