Latest news and updates about the Oilers
Maybe Edmonton Oilers fans can resonate with this quote from Minnesota Wild coach Jon Hynes. “The one thing I will say is that when you go through 82 games, they’re not all gonna be Picassos, right?” said Hynes. Right you are, Mr. Hynes. Both teams would approach this ethos from different angles after their last…

The Edmonton Oilers were not good during the Decade of Darkness. Aside from being in the playoff conversation in 2007-08 and 2012-13 (mainly because of the lockout), the Oilers were almost always at the bottom of the league. From 2006-07 until 2015-16, the Oilers didn’t make the playoffs once, hence the nickname the “Decade of…
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Ethan Moreau comes in at No. 51 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 54 on Brownlee’s original list. Wayne Gretzky is known as the greatest player ever, bringing four…
With the Edmonton Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season and the excitement packed into those games, if you could bottle all that energy into a morning drink, coffee companies would be out of business. The Oilers pulled off their first comeback from a three-goal deficit in the third period since 2022 with a…
A recently retired Edmonton Oiler offered his critique of the team, saying they need to find ways to give depth players roles. Derek Ryan, who played with the Oilers from 2021-22 to 2024-25, was on Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer on Wednesday. Stauffer asked Ryan if he viewed Edmonton as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. …
The Edmonton Oilers are the second-highest scoring team in the NHL, and there have been a good amount of changes at forward with line mixing and injuries this season. There are some stable and trusted combinations, but there could still be something more added. The Oilers don't have much cap space to work with this season, but will use Andrew Mangiapane to free up cap space to make an addition. Beyond that, there isn't much they can do to open up space until the offseason. GM Stan Bowman will ...
The Pacific Division is in an interesting spot with 30 games to go in the regular season. The top two spots are occupied by the two teams that everyone expected to be there at the start of the regular season, the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights, but after that, it’s been fairly chaotic. The…
The San Jose Sharks could not have asked for a better start in Edmonton. Less than two minutes into the game, the team jumped out to a two-goal lead against the Edmonton Oilers, with Collin Graf getting the first point on the board just 26 seconds into the game and Adam Gaudette adding a second one 1:11 later. A Michael Misa goal midway through the first period put the Sharks up 3-0 and with a comfortable lead, the team was in good shape. Knowing its opponent, San Jose was not content to ...
The tenth time’s the charm. With a 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers finally put together their first three-game winning streak of the 2025-26 season. They had won back-to-back games nine times earlier this year, only to watch each potential heater stall in the third game. For a…
It’s wild to think that we’re in late January and still in the hunt for the Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season. I don’t know why they haven’t been able to do it, but it’s a story that came up once again ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the San Jose Sharks. This was…
The Edmonton Oilers have finally done it! On Thursday evening, the Oilers hosted the San Jose Sharks for the sixth game on their eight-game home stand. Coming into the game, the Oilers had nine previous attempts to win three straight games, failing each time. This time was different, though, as they overcame a 3-0 deficit…

On today’s podcast, the guys discussed Wanye’s favourite coffee shop closing, food preferences, the Oilers’ 10th chance to win three straight games, the winter Olympics, and more. The guys kicked off the…
We are deep into silly season, so names are being thrown around among NHL fan bases like they’re going out of fashion. There’s an understanding among Edmonton Oilers fans that the team doesn’t have much money to spend. That has put them out of the running for someone like Artemi Panarin, and probably any of…
The San Jose Sharks are in Alberta today for the first of two matchups against the Canadian teams there. The Sharks play the first of this season’s games against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are 27-19-8 this season, but only 5-3-2 in the team’s last 10 games. Still, it’s good enough for second in the Pacific Division, just one point back from the Vegas Golden Knights, who sit in first. At the same time, the Sharks are five points back of the Oilers with three games in hand; a win tonight co...
In the 2020s, Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have been mainstays atop the NHL scoring race. McDavid has the most points this decade with 738 since January 1st, 2020, while Draisaitl is second with 656 followed by Nathan MacKinnon (643), Nikita Kucherov (571, as he missed the 56-game, 2021 season) and David Pastrnak (569). There…
The Edmonton Oilers are approaching their first third consecutive win of the season. Again. Over halfway through the season, and they still haven’t managed it. They’ve had plenty of chances. They’ve won two in a row multiple times. But that elusive third win? It keeps slipping away. And at this point, the Oilers are tired…
Whether or not Edmonton Oilers defenceman Mattias Ekholm is in the lineup Thursday night against the San Jose Sharks wasn’t revealed when the team took to the ice in the morning. Ekholm, fresh off his first career hat trick Monday night against the Anaheim Ducks, was absent from practice Wednesday, dealing with an undisclosed injury…

It’s well known that the Edmonton Oilers have lacked depth scoring this season. Connor McDavid has been the best player in the league, as per usual, as he has 33 goals with a league-leading 92 points. If he maintains this pace, McDavid will have 50 goals and 139 points over 82 games, which would be…
