Elliotte Friedman revealed on Hockey Night in Canada that the Anaheim Ducks are now looking at the Oilers forward who is in Year 1 of a two-year, $3.6 million dea...

The Flyers kicked off their slate of games in this new calendar year yesterday afternoon in Edmonton, and after a pretty abysmal showing in their final game of 2025, they were looking to rebound in a big way. It wasn’t going to be easy, facing off against the top team in the Pacific division and the best player in the game, but the Flyers were able to deliver quite a balanced effort and a largely responsible way, on the way to a commanding 5-2 win over the Oilers. It was a game in which, ...

The Edmonton Oilers are almost back to full health, and with that, a lot of moves have been made with more to come. Kasperi Kapanen, the last injured forward, is about to return to action, so one more forward will have to be sent down or moved out. Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson were just recalled after continuously dominating the AHL, so there's no reason why they shouldn't stick around. The depth veterans on the Oilers are more of the problem, but players like Adam Henrique and Trent Frederic...

This, from a team that won the Presidents' Trophy last season with the best record in the NHL. But if they're not ready to throw in the towel, there are some things the Jets could look to fix.

Denver Barkey is on the board. The Philadelphia Flyers rookie has provided some energy and solid two-way play in his short time in the NHL, but he only had two assists — both recorded in his debut at Madison Square Garden — to show for it. That changed on Saturday afternoon in Edmonton. After some early pressure by the Oilers, it was Barkey who settled things down and opened the scoring in Edmonton. The 20-year-old winger started the breakout in his own end and dashed down the c...
