Pre-Scout: After Oilers were ‘fed their lunch,’ they seek revenge against Leafs in Toronto homecoming

The Edmonton Oilers head to Toronto for a six‑game, nine‑day road stretch, hoping to avenge a 7‑2 loss to the Maple Leafs and prove coach Mike Babcock’s belief they can improve. Riding a 14‑3‑3 record and strong net play from Devon Levi and Tristan Jarry, Oilers star Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard and Zach Hyman return to their home province. Toronto sits 0‑5‑0, seeking answers after a winless home run—their first seven‑loss homestand since 1990‑91. With games in Philadelphia, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina and St. Louis next, the Oilers aim to capture seven points in the upcoming five‑game segment.

Gameday 21: Florida Panthers at St. Louis Blues

The Florida Panthers (11‑7‑2, 24 points) head to St. Louis for the first leg of a back‑to‑back road swing, taking on the Blues (9‑8‑2, 18 points) at the Enterprise Center tonight. Florida enters on the heels of a dramatic 5‑4 comeback win over Detroit, erasing a three‑goal hole with goals from Anton Lundell and a late tie by Lars Eller. The Panthers will look to carry that momentum against a mid‑table Blues squad.

3 Potential Trade Destinations For Blues' Jordan Binnington

Jordan Binnington, the St. Louis Blues’ 33‑year‑old unrestricted free‑agent goalie, is likely headed for a trade this season. With a $6 million AAV, a 10‑team no‑trade clause, and a rough start (1‑3‑0, .851 SV%, 4.51 GAA in five games), his experience still attracts interest. The article highlights three plausible destinations: the New York Rangers, who need a veteran after Igor Shesterkin’s injury; the Toronto Maple Leafs, looking to add a capable backup for Sergei Bobrovsky; and the Utah Mammoth, a high‑spending club seeking a veteran presence for a Cup push.

Rasmussen a Healthy Scratch For Red Wings Game in Florida

Detroit Red Wings coach Todd McLellan benches veteran forward Michael Rasmussen for the upcoming road game against the Florida Panthers, ending a brief run of praise. Rasmussen, 27, has been pinpointed for costly mistakes in recent losses – a poor defensive play that led to Trevor Connelly’s game-winner in a 2-1 defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights and a board battle loss that sparked Jimmy Snuggerud’s overtime heroics in a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. With the Wings on a four‑game skid, forward Carter Mazur replaces Rasmussen in the lineup for Thursday’s matchup.

Top 100 Oilers: No. 13 — Doug Weight

Oilers Nation revives its Top 100 Oilers list, placing Doug Weight at No. 13 (up from No. 10 in the original 2015 ranking). Drafted by the Rangers in 1990, Weight was traded to Edmonton in March 1993 in a dramatic on‑ice swap with Esa Tikkanen. Over 588 games he logged 157 goals and 577 points, leading the Oilers in scoring seven times and captaining the team in his final two seasons. After a 2001 trade to St. Louis, he capped his career with a Stanley Cup win in 2006 with Carolina and was inducted into the Oilers Hall of Fame in 2023. The piece highlights Weight’s role as the franchise’s MVP through the turbulent post‑dynasty era.

Dvorsky’s Struggles Leave the Blues With a Difficult Decision

St. Louis Blues forward Dalibor Dvorsky, the 2023 10th‑overall pick, has posted just four goals and one assist in 18 games, prompting questions about his NHL readiness. After being shifted from the third‑line centre spot to the wing, his ice time has dropped to an average of 11:48 per game, and he logged only 6:36 in the recent 3‑2 win over Detroit. Coach Jim Montgomery cites a lack of speed and conviction, and the Blues now weigh keeping Dvorsky in the NHL versus sending him to AHL affiliate Springfield Thunderbirds, where he tallied 21 goals and 24 assists last season. The decision will determine whether the young talent can regain confidence and fulfill the team’s rebuilding plans.

The Daily: Red Wings Skid Hits Four; Michkov Leak by Weekes

The Detroit Red Wings fall to the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Nov. 10, extending their losing streak to four despite a strong return from goalie John Gibson. Moritz Seider scores with just over a minute left, but the offense stalls, and rookie Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton fail to spark a comeback. Coach hints at lineup tweaks ahead of Thursday’s game, while trade rumors swirl: ESPN’s Kevin Weekes reports Flyers forward Matvei Michkov wants out, and Philadelphia may target Dylan Larkin or Red Wings RFA Simon Edvinsson—though Larkin’s name isn’t on his trade list. Meanwhile, the Devils’ six‑game win streak ends after a 4‑goal blast by the Jets.

Red Wings’ Need for Scoring Help Reaches Critical Stage

The Detroit Red Wings fall 3-2 to the St. Louis Blues, marking their fourth straight loss and underscoring a critical scoring drought. In 19 games, the Wings have scored two or fewer goals in nine contests and have been shut out three times. Coach Todd McLellan’s squad led early but surrendered three unanswered goals, including a late tally by Moritz Seider. With Dylan Larkin off the trade block, interim GM Shawn Horcoff signals any trade for defenseman Simon Edvinsson must bring back a proven scorer. The team heads to Florida for the next road game, hoping to reverse a 0‑2 road trip record.

Game 19: Red Wings @ Blues

Detroit returns to St. Louis for Game 19, hoping to avenge a heartbreaking 5-4 loss two weeks ago when a 4-2 lead evaporated in just 4:38 of the third period. The Wings controlled most of the first 40 minutes before conceding three quick goals, including a tying and winning tally separated by only 18 seconds. Tonight’s showdown carries added significance beyond the standings as Detroit looks to right the wrongs of that ugly defeat.

The Daily: Detroit Need to Get Over Blues; Edvinsson Skating in Music City

The Red Wings face a crunch as restricted‑free‑agent blueliner Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned, training in Nashville while refusing to return in a Detroit jersey. With the Dec. 1 deadline looming, GM Shawn Horcoff must still lock down a deal or consider a trade for Dylan Larkin. On the ice, Detroit heads to St. Louis for a rematch with the Blues after a Halloween loss, hoping to snap a 1‑3 skid on the road before a showdown with the Boston Bruins.

Simon Edvinsson Training In Nashville; 6 Teams Linked in Trade Talks With Red Wings

Restricted free agent defenseman Simon Edvinsson trains in Nashville with private coach Dustin Smith, a move prompted by fellow Swede Filip Forsberg. With Detroit and Edvinsson still far from a new deal, the 23‑year‑old—Detroit’s top‑pairing blueliner and sixth overall pick in 2021—faces a December 1 deadline to sign or miss the season. Six clubs are reportedly in talks with the Red Wings: Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks, Boston Bruins, St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens and Seattle Kraken. The Predators have a scouting advantage, while the Sharks lead trade chatter, though a deal remains elusive.

Report: Blues' Goaltender Jordan Binnington Not On Rangers Radar

The St. Louis Blues' veteran goalie Jordan Binnington, a 2019 Stanley Cup hero, is now a trade candidate after slipping to a 1-3-1 record, 4.27 GAA and .851 SV% this season. With his $6 million AAV expiring after 2026‑27, the Blues could gain cap relief by dealing him. Elliotte Friedman of The 32 Thoughts Podcast says the New York Rangers are not interested, despite their own goalie woes following James Reimer’s release and Joonas Korpisalo’s injury. Meanwhile, backup Joel Hofer cements the starting role with a 6‑5‑1 record, 2.36 GAA and .919 SV%, making Binnington expendable.

NHL stock watch: Biggest risers & fallers after Week 6

Week 7 of the 2026 NHL season sees the Nashville Predators surge with four recent wins over the Hurricanes, Lightning, Avalanche and Blues, while veteran Roman Josi enters Norris Trophy talk and Steven Stamkos stays productive. New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox emerges as a hidden star, posting 20 assists in 18 games. Conversely, the Vancouver Canucks slump to the league’s bottom with no offensive spark or goaltending help, and the Chicago Blackhawks’ forward core disappoints—Patrick Kane has just one goal in 15 games as the club endures a losing streak.
