Welcome to the Game Day Thread for the games in the week of 1/12. The Predators did not win the week last week, though they certainly could have. Losing the one “four point” game to the wounded Chicago Blackhawks was not a good look. We’ve got a tough week ahead. Games this week are: Tuesday 1/13 vs Edmonton Oilers 7pm Central on FanDuel and ESPN Friday 1/16 at Colorado Avalanche 8pm Central on FanDuel and ESPN Saturday 1/17 at Vegas Golden Knights 9pm Central on F...

I, for one, am finding the humour in the Edmonton Oilers‘ inability to string together three wins. Oh, the Los Angeles Kings, one of your biggest rivals, are in town after losing to Winnipeg just 24 hours before? Whack. Big divisional game to keep pace? A jazzed-up building celebrating the Great and Powerful Leon Draisaitl…

The Edmonton Oilers still can’t win three consecutive games. They were handed a prime opportunity on Saturday, with the Los Angeles Kings coming to town fresh off a loss in Winnipeg the night before. Leon Draisaitl, who was honoured prior to puck drop for reaching 1,000 career NHL points, opened the scoring midway through the…

Could there be a better opportunity for the Oilers to finally lock down their first three-game win streak of the season than on a night when the rival Los Angeles Kings were in town? I didn’t think so. If Edmonton couldn’t get fired up for their first matchup of the season against a tired Kings…

Got your coffee? It’s time to dig into this week’s Letters to the Editor. It’s on the players… The hand-wringing about the bottom-six is getting tiresome, especially when the finger is pointed at the players. Fact is, the bottom-six is where players go to die in Edmonton. We haven’t had a legit one since the…

The Edmonton Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season has to wait. On Saturday evening, the Oilers fell 4-3 in a shootout to the Los Angeles Kings, moving their season record to 22-16-7. It was a rather disappointing end to what was a solid hockey game. Let’s take a look at what went on…

On the night that Leon Draisaitl celebrated his 1,000th National Hockey League point, Connor McDavid surpassed a career best. Coming into Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings, McDavid had a 17-game point streak, the third time he’s reached that milestone. Over those 17 games, McDavid has 18 goals and 41 points.

The Edmonton Oilers are back at Rogers Place tonight to take on the Los Angeles Kings, and this one feels like it could get spicy without having to try too hard. These teams don’t just dislike each other, but they’ve built a real hatred over the last few years. Our boys keep knocking the Kings…

Tonight’s matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings isn’t a measuring stick. It’s not a playoff preview or some grand test of where either team stands. But it will be insightful, and that’s all you should take from it. Both teams are coming off games against the Winnipeg Jets, who were stuck in…

The Edmonton Oilers have loaned defenceman Riley Stillman to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors, the club announced Saturday. Stillman, 27, was recalled by the team on December 12th, drawing in for four games, most recently Thursday’s against the Winnipeg Jets. He didn’t notch any points, but averaged 12 minutes and two seconds of ice-time, laying seven…

When the Edmonton Oilers left Winnipeg on Thursday night, the Jets looked demoralized. They’d blown yet another lead and flailed down the stretch of another winnable game. Twenty-four hours later, those same down-bad Jets snapped their 11-game losing skid against the Oilers’ opponent on Saturday night – the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings may have…

The Edmonton Oilers have gotten a very strong season from Jack Roslovic that was unfortunately broken up by an injury. He was dominating in the top-6 and playing on the top power play for a time. Now, with the team healthy, he is being tried out as the third line center, a position that is of need to the Oilers. Roslovic has the fifth-most points among Oilers' forwards and has 12 goals and 20 points in 31 games. He is now centering a line with Isaac Howard and Matthew Savoie and the line looks...

Edmonton Oilers one thing left to try with Trent Frederic: killing penalties If Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman had a hot tub time machine, he wouldn’t create the search engine “Lougle” or change the result of the Earnest Byner fumble – he’d trim six years off of Trent Frederic’s contract. It’s been an unmitigated…

The Edmonton Oilers are quickly moving towards a decision on where to trade Andrew Mangiapane. He just hasn't been the right fit in Edmonton since signing a two-year deal at $3.6 million AAV. The contract has trade protection, but the forward is willing to waive his no-trade clause to go to a team with a better opportunity, and it doesn't even have to be a contender. That makes things a lot easier for the Oilers and there is one team that is being agree upon by insiders. That is the Winnipeg J...

On Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers play the Los Angeles Kings for the first time this season. No doubt, the Kings are upset about their fourth consecutive series defeat at the hands of the Oilers. Last year, they were oh so close, but blew a 2-0 series lead with late leads in Games 3 and 4….

The Edmonton Oilers scratched Mangiapane for the second straight game on Thursday, a 4-3 comeback win over the Winnipeg Jets. But is a deal imminent? It doesn’t appear so. There is interest, but the inner workings of a trade haven’t been fleshed out…

Evander Kane back to the Edmonton Oilers? That’s what the Vancouver Canucks tried to make happen, only for the Oilers to shoot any suggestion dead in the water. The report came from Donnie and Dhali’s Rick Dhaliwal, who reported the news on Friday on Sportsnet 650’s Halford and Brough in the Morning. Here’s what Dhaliwal had to…

In the 2023 season, the Edmonton Oilers did it on their first try. In 2024, it also occurred on their first attempt. In 2025, it took them four tries, and tomorrow night against the Los Angeles Kings, the Oilers will go for it on their eighth attempt. We are talking about the elusive three-game winning…

Times are tough in Winnipeg. Last year’s Central Division champions, who cruised through the regular season to a 56-22-4 record, have fallen off a cliff. The Oilers handed the Jets their 11th straight loss Thursday night at Canada Life Centre. After the home side jumped out to a 3-1 first-period lead, Edmonton flipped the script,…
