The Edmonton Oilers are getting healthier, and that means their depth, particularly at forward, has gotten deeper. But in direct inverse correlation with how healthy the team is getting, Andrew Mangiapane's role has gotten more and more 'unhealthy', playing-time-wise. Elliotte Friedman tells us on the 32 Thoughts podcast that that could mean that Mangiapane's days with the team are numbered. He says that a trade is beginning to sound good to both player and club. I do think both sides wo...

They are 10-5-1 since November 21st, but they will need to be sharper tonight in Winnipeg than they were in Calgary on Saturday if they want to avoid a second straight loss.

Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch changed the lines ahead of Monday night’s game in Winnipeg. Matt Savoie is back with Leon Draisaitl and Vasily Podkolzin on the second line, while Jack Roslovic is centring the third line between Mattias Janmark and Trent Frederic. Who knew Roslovic playing centre was even an option? Apparently, Knoblauch…

You could call it a freefall. In the span of a few months, the Winnipeg Jets have gone from a first-place President’s Trophy regular season to today, where on December 29th, they sit just one point out of 32nd place. A miserable November has turned into a ghastly December, even with the return of Hart…

Saturday night was one where hard work defeated skill as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames collided for the second time in a week. The Flames’ fourth line ran the Oilers’ show, as Edmonton’s bottom-six may as well have stayed at home to eat leftover Christmas dinner. While the stars did show up for the…

Crossbar. Bar. Bar. Post. That and some disengaged second-period play cost the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night against their arch-rival Calgary Flames in a 3-2 loss. And wouldn’t you know it — for the seventh time this regular season, the Oilers failed to win a third consecutive game. It’s not hard to see why. If…

As the NHL's Holiday Roster Freeze was lifted as of Sunday morning, several teams around the league have made some moves. The Edmonton Oilers have placed Noah Philp on waivers for the purpose of an assignment to AHL Bakersfield. However, with a face-off win percentage of 56.9%, and the dearth of available centers around the league, there's a chance that he could be claimed by another team, saving him a trip back to the minors. Philp is a defensive-minded, fourth-line center ...

Throughout the past two regular seasons at five-on-five, Leon Draisaitl’s most common forward linemate has not been Connor McDavid. It has not been Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Zach Hyman either. Instead, the forward who has most often ridden shotgun with the 2025 Rocket Richard winner is Vasily Podkolzin. The Edmonton Oilers initially brought in Podkolzin in…

It’s always fun when the Edmonton Oilers square off against the Calgary Flames, and with a second Battle of Alberta happening only four days after the last one, it would be the understatement of a lifetime to say I was excited about Saturday’s rematch.

Connor Ingram started his third game for the Edmonton Oilers Saturday night.

He turned aside 29 of 32 shots for a .906…
