Latest news and updates about the Oilers
With the new season upon us, let’s look ahead to the first slate of games for the Edmonton Oilers. They’ve opened their season with a 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks and will look to get back at them tonight. But after that, they have 13 more games scheduled for October, with seven at home…
The Winnipeg Jets and goalie Connor Hellebuyck continue to be at a standstill as the 2026-27 NHL season gets underway. Hellebuyck is one of the elite goaltenders in the NHL and he was the gold-medal winning goaltender for the U.S. Team in 2026 Winter Olympics. After returning to the Jets following the conclusion of the […] The post NHL rumors: Insider wonders if Connor Hellebuyck would be open to Oilers trade despite current Canada stance appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Hyman suffered the injury in Edmonton’s final preseason game on September 26.
There is no reason the Edmonton Oilers should have a slow start to the season. After a strong first 10 minutes of their season opener, they were sloppy in the final 50 minutes against Vancouver, and it cost them. Tonight will tell us a lot about the psyche and determination of this team. Will they…
The Vancouver Canucks (1-0) play their first home game of the new National Hockey League season tonight, hosting the Edmonton Oilers (0-0-1) at Rogers Arena. The game begins at 7 pm PT. It’s a rematch of Tuesday’s thrilling 6-5 Canucks victory in Edmonton.

Is one game too early to start discussing NHL award races? Undoubtedly it is. Yet after watching the Edmonton Oilers’ season opener on Tuesday, I can’t help but consider the possibility of a Norris Trophy in Evan Bouchard’s future. In their 6-5 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks, Bouchard scored the first opening-night hat trick…
A great part of the NHL is that you typically don’t have much time to worry about what happened in the last game. You’re back in the saddle and straight back into battle. After suffering a frustrating loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, the Edmonton Oilers head west to take on those same Canucks…
The Vancouver Canucks couldn’t have scripted a stranger opening night on Tuesday. They blew a 5-2 lead against the Edmonton Oilers, watched Evan Bouchard score five points, including a hat…
The Edmonton Oilers enter tonight’s rematch against the Vancouver Canucks with a decision to make in goal: does Tristan Jarry get another opportunity, or do they change starters after Tuesday’s…
The Edmonton Oilers have made several roster moves ahead of Thursday night’s rematch with the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who did not play in the season opener, was officially placed on injured reserve. In response, the Oilers have recalled Josh Samanski under emergency conditions, who was the last cut from the team in training camp….
Well, that didn’t go well. Tristan Jarry had a less-than-stellar performance in the season opener against the Vancouver Canucks. He let in six goals on 23 shots, finishing with a -3.51 goals-saved below expected. Edmonton dominated the game and should have won easily, but they needed a couple of key saves in the third period….
Savoie and Regula won’t be available for over three weeks, while Nugent-Hopkins will have to sit out a couple of more games.
Optimism met by immediate crashing doubt, cursing replaced with cheering, then cursing again, a resting heartbeat sent racing for the first time in months — the Edmonton Oilers and their specific brand of emotional manipulation were back in full force in Tuesday’s home opener. Six goals allowed on just eight high-danger chances against in a…
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard started off the 2026-27 season with a historic performance. Could the 26-year-old's five-point effort against the Vancouver Canucks be a sign of greater things to come?
For all the talk about change, Mike Babcock’s first game behind the Edmonton Oilers’ bench looked awfully familiar. The Oilers still turned the game into a track meet, still needed their offence to rescue them, and still left their coach talking about structure and poor decisions post-game. That doesn’t necessarily mean nothing has changed. Babcock’s…
The Edmonton Oilers are going all-in this season, as it's Stanley Cup or bust. With Connor McDavid having just two years left on his current contract, and with Mike Babcock now behind the bench, the pressure is turned all the way up in Oil country. Oilers general manager Stan Bowman has some trade assets to work with this season, as it's expected the team will look to upgrade their top six, while also landing a top-four defenceman. In net, the Oilers have three goalies currently on their depth...
After the Edmonton Oilers wasted a season-opening, record-setting performance from Evan Bouchard in the unmitigated disaster against the Vancouver Canucks, it’s already time to make changes. What goes on in net is its own can of worms, and while the first game of the year largely rests at the feet of Tristan Jarry, Mike Babcock’s…
The Battle of Alberta isn’t much of a battle nowadays. Sure, the Calgary Flames took three of four games from the Edmonton Oilers last season, but after missing the playoffs with 96 points in 2024-25, the Flames bottomed out and finished with 77 points, the third-fewest in the National Hockey League in 2025-26. While they…
This past summer could largely be summed up by a phrase I’m planning to carve into my tombstone: HERE LIES KELVIN HE READ THE COMMENTS That or HE NEVER SAW TITANIC — I haven’t decided. But yeah, the comments. These Edmonton Oilers have had the internet arguing over the 12th to 14th forwards all summer…
The Vancouver Canucks kicked off their 2026-27 season with a 6-5 overtime victory over the Edmonton Oilers. After finishing with the fewest points in the National Hockey League last season, the same is expected of the Canucks yet again. Like the Calgary Flames, they’re a rebuilding team looking to accumulate young talent for their upcoming…
The greatest player to ever lace up his skates believes the game’s current No. 1 star won’t be leaving his current team. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, Hockey Hall of Famer and former Edmonton Oilers captain Wayne Gretzky was asked about current Oilers captain Connor McDavid’s future with the club. No….
There was no shortage of heroes in the Vancouver Canucks’ season-opening 6-5 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Paul Cotter scored twice, including the overtime winner. Elias Pettersson and Jonathan Lekkerimäki got on the board with crucial goals. And Kevin Lankinen stood on his head for 50 minutes, finishing with 32 saves despite the scoreline…
Could Adam Larsson have been an Edmonton Oiler sooner? If former general manager Craig MacTavish had his way, the answer would be yes, but his offer to then-New Jersey Devils GM Lou Lamoriello was not received warmly. MacT held the reins for two seasons in 2013-14 and 2014-15 and famously promised “bold moves” to end…
