In a statement on Wednesday morning, the Edmonton Oilers announced they are blacking out playoff games on television – but there’s a catch. The game telecast will start once the Oilers Community Foundation’s 50/50 pot reaches a minimum of $1 million. If the pot doesn’t hit the mark, no Oilers hockey will be seen on…

My first recollection of the Kraken came in the 1980s movie Clash of the Titans. The Kraken was a giant sea monster with a six-pack, no less. The movie was very popular due to its stop-motion visual effects. That doesn’t sound overly exciting in 2026, but in the early 1980s, it was a big deal….

With chaos brewing in the Pacific Division, the Edmonton Oilers seem relatively drama-free in comparison after three solid wins in a row. The Vegas Golden Knights threw the hockey world for a loop with their unceremonious firing of coach Bruce Cassidy on Sunday afternoon. Enter John Tortorella, who made his coaching debut with his new…
The Anaheim Ducks are one of the best stories in the NHL this season, sitting atop the Pacific Division with a four-point cushion on the Edmonton Oilers . The problem is that their most expensive forward isn't really part of that story. Mason McTavish signed a six-year, $42 million extension last fall after a contract dispute that kept him out of most of training camp, and in his first season on that deal, he has 14 goals and 34 points in 67 games, which is well below the 52-point campai...
The Edmonton Oilers are getting some positive injury news. Kris Knoblauch spoke to the media on Monday after practice and gave a rough timeline on the return of two injured forwards: Trent Frederic and Colton Dach.

The Edmonton Oilers seem to be finding their mojo at just the right time down the stretch, and they need to keep that momentum going to secure a playoff spot and, despite the rollercoaster of a season, still have a chance to capture their first division title since the 1986-87 season. They’re riding a three-game…
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes.

“Look at us. Who would’ve thought? Not me,” said Paul Rudd, said Connor Ingram. The Edmonton Oilers netminder smiled ear to ear when he was interviewed by Tony Brar in-house after the 4-2 win over Anaheim on Saturday afternoon. Ingram held down the fort despite the Ducks’ furious attempt for their 26th comeback victory of the…
Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott, known best for his lucky socks, has interviewed with the Nashville Predators for their vacant general manager’s job, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported.

For just the second time this season, the Oilers are on a three-game winning streak. This stretch has come at an ideal time for Edmonton.

Since the Olympic break, Connor McDavid has produced at an excellent rate of 3.19 points per hour at five-on-five, which is no surprise for him. But in that same stretch, the Oilers have a second forward sitting just behind at a rate of 3.17, and it’s not Leon Draisaitl, who has been out to injury…
After a massive OT win in Vegas on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were back at Rogers Place for a little matinee action against the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks.

After sweeping this week’s two-game road trip with wins over Utah and Vegas, the Oilers are back at the friendly confines of Rogers Place for the penultimate homestand of the regular season.

I want to believe the Edmonton Oilers this time. I really do. But there is a California-sized steel trap hovering above this afternoon’s matchup against the Anaheim Ducks. The Oilers close out an overtime victory against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, take all four possible points on the road this week, setting up a matchup…
With a lack of draft capital, the Edmonton Oilers are looking overseas once again. This time, they signed Czech defenceman Tomáš Cibulka to a two-year entry-level contract that starts in 2026-27. Cibulka, 21, stands six feet tall, 176 pounds, and is a left-shot defenceman who has spent the last two seasons in Czechia. Last season,…
