Latest news and updates about the Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers got good injury news about Jake Walman and not-so-good news about Curtis Lazar on Tuesday. Knoblauch gave updates on injuries after Wednesday’s optional morning skate. Many of the team’s top players didn’t participate, with the Oilers’ next game not until Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Curtis Lazar will be out at least…
The Edmonton Oilers know how to put the puck in the back of the net, having scored 22 goals over their last four games. Their obvious problem, however, is keeping it out of their own, and the recent addition of Connor Murphy should help with that. The Oilers have elite offensive talent that other NHL…
Daily Faceoff’s Jeff Marek believes the Edmonton Oilers could be the team to watch at the trade deadline and openly wondered about Darnell Nurse’s status. The NHL’s trade deadline is Friday, and there’s been action across the league already. The Oilers have made one move, acquiring Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday for…
Though it wasn’t what anyone would call a complete performance, the Edmonton Oilers picked up two points in their first home game following the Olympic break on Tuesday, coming from behind to beat the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in overtime. After both teams traded goals in the first, the visiting Sens seemed to take control with…
After a laundry list of mistakes led to a disappointing loss at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks, the Oilers were back on home ice to square off against the Ottawa Senators for the series finale. But while the game venue changed, Edmonton’s puck management woes did not. We saw costly mistakes, grade-A chances, and,…
The Andrew Mangiapane sweepstakes will be coming to an end over the next 48 hours, as the Edmonton Oilers are engaged in advanced trade talks around the struggling winger. Mangiapane was recently sent down by the Oilers to the AHL, and only played one shift, just to ensure he 'played' in one game, and is now eligible to be traded. The Oilers want to acquire a third-line center and have interest in Nic Roy and Scott Laughton off the Toronto Maple Leafs, but need to move Mangiapane first, to cle...
The cardiac Edmonton Oilers have found a way to win once again. On Tuesday evening, the Oilers hosted the Ottawa Senators for their first home game since the start of February, defeating the team from the Nation’s capital by a score of 5-4 in overtime, the second time they’ve beaten the Senators in overtime this…
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was.

The Edmonton Oilers went out and addressed their blueline with a trade for Connor Murphy a few days back. Now it's time to focus on the top-nine, and their focus, according to TSN insider Pierre LeBrun , is a physical third-line center. But first, he says, they need to separate themselves from Andrew Mangiapane and his $3.6M cap hit (currently residing in the AHL after he went unclaimed on waivers on the weekend). They spent a lot of time Tuesday, I'm told, trying to find a landing spot ...
Darnell Nurse has been a target of criticism for his recent play and short answers following the Edmonton Oilers’ loss in San Jose on Saturday. On Tuesday, before the Oilers host the Ottawa Senators, Nurse took a different approach. “It’s 61 games in, and I’m minus-12 and have 20 points. I’m not happy about that…
Gretzky and Kurri. Peas and carrots. Fork and Knife. McDavid and Draisaitl. These are things that go together. Just like the annual commentary on how the Edmonton Oilers need to play better defensively. It’s become a tradition in Edmonton, not a good one for the players, but as the Oilers enter the final quarter of…
With as boisterous a personality as Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk has, the grand irony of his Team USA gold medal at the Olympics turning into a media interrogation upon his return to Canada’s capital dominated headlines around the team last week. Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson won gold, of course, over the likes of Connor…
The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their California road trip with one win and two losses. They’re back home now for a brief stop before hitting the road again following Friday’s trade deadline.

With deadline week officially upon us in the NHL, Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman wasted little time getting into the spirit of the week as he acquired veteran right-shot defenceman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks.
