Latest news and updates about the Oilers
It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday’s game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more. We kicked off the Friday episode…
He might not have been having the type of season that the Edmonton Oilers envisioned when they handed him an inexplicable eight-year extension last summer, but Trent Frederic's physicality will still be missed in the lineup. It's been revealed that he is out with an injury with no timeline currently for a return. From @EdmontonOilers Kris Knoblauch on Trent Frederic "Trent is out with an injury and I dont have a timeline." — Gene Principe (@GenePrincipe) March 20, 2026 Head coach Kris Kn...
The Edmonton Oilers delivered a mixed bag injury update on Friday, as the team continues to lose bodies down the stretch drive of the regular season. Trent Frederic did not return in the third period against the Florida Panthers, an eventual 4-0 loss. On his last shift of the second period, Frederic fell while on…
The Edmonton Oilers find themselves in an interesting spot with roughly one month remaining in the NHL season. Even after a disappointing loss to the Florida Panthers, they find themselves just one point back of the Anaheim Ducks for the top spot in the division, and even though the Ducks have two games in hand…
I’ll defer to Paul Maurice, who’s approaching 2,000 games coached in the National Hockey League. He said this after his Florida Panthers, who jumped to 14th in the Eastern Conference, beat the Edmonton Oilers in a Stanley Cup Final rematch (part deux) 4-0 on Thursday night. “Finding that juice in the regular season is a…
The Florida Panthers treated Thursday’s Stanley Cup Final rematch in Edmonton like it meant something. The Oilers did not. The result? A decisive 4-0 road victory for the back-to-back champions. There won’t be any rings handed out for this game and there isn’t going to be a parade when the Panthers arrive back in South…
The Edmonton Oilers found themselves on a bit of a run coming into Thursday’s matchup with the Florida Panthers, going 4-1-1 in their last six games, but they would need another strong effort if they were going to keep the good times rolling. Even though the Panthers are well out of the playoff race at…
Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers blanked the Edmonton Oilers 4-0 at Rogers Place to snap a two-game skid. Bobrovsky stopped all 21 shots faced to join Roberto Luongo (38) and Tomas Voukon (23) as the only goalers in franchise history to record 20 shutouts. The Panthers delivered a near-perfect first period of road hockey, outchancing the Oilers 14-4, and put two goals on the board to establish firm control. Cole Reinhardt notched his first as a Cat when Mike Benning sen...
The Edmonton Oilers just can’t seem to figure out the Florida Panthers. On Thursday evening, the Oilers played the Panthers for the second time this season, falling 4-0 to the reigning Stanley Cup champions on home ice. Let’s take a look at what went on in this game. The Panthers took the lead just over…
The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers’ disdain for one another is real. It isn’t manufactured. The NHL sent a memo to both teams during last year’s Stanley Cup Final to tone down their on-ice verbal assaults. The intensity was obvious. The teams might respect each other’s talent, but it was clear in the Panthers’ celebrations…
The man who took out one of the Edmonton Oilers‘ top stars has shared his side of the story. When speaking to the media on Thursday, Nashville Predators forward Ozzy Wiesblatt was asked about the hit on Oilers sniper Leon Draisaitl that led to the latter being ruled out for the remainder of the 2025-26…
The Edmonton Oilers made a pair of roster moves and blended their lines Thursday ahead of their Stanley Cup Final rematch with the Florida Panthers. Leon Draisaitl was placed on the long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury sustained Sunday night on a hit by Nashville Predators winger Ozzy Wiesblatt. He was initially expected to…
Sure, there are injuries to key players from the recent Stanley Cup Finals, forcing them out of tonight’s game. But as long as the Edmonton Oilers are playing a team wearing Florida Panthers’ jerseys, the game means more. The Oilers didn’t paint a Picasso against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, but withstood mistakes…
This won’t be a preview of a third straight Stanley Cup Final between Edmonton and Florida. The Oilers are still chasing top spot in the Pacific Division, but the Panthers are running out of time, sitting 13 points back of a playoff spot with just over a month left. With their season slipping away, the…
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Bill Guerin comes in at No. 42 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 31 on Brownlee’s original list. It feels like Bill Guerin was an Edmonton Oiler for longer…
It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers‘ trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of…
Every NHL game is important at this time of year, whether your team is in the playoff push or not so subtly tanking for the draft lottery, there is always something to cheer for. Some noteworthy lineup changes for this game injected some extra intrigue on top of the obvious Pacific Division playoff race. Edmonton Oilers’ superstar Leon Draisaitl will be out for the rest of the regular season with a lower body injury, and this was the Oilers first game without him. The San Jose Sharks scratched...
Connor Ingram is 4-0-1 in his last six starts, with a .898 save percentage and a 2.50 goals-against average for the Edmonton Oilers. In the last five games, his five-on-five save percentage is 15th best in the NHL. Those are average numbers, you might say. Said with different intonation: Hey, those are average numbers! I’m…
The 2026 trade deadline has come and gone. In total, the Edmonton Oilers traded three roster players in two separate trades. They acquired Colton Dach and Jason Dickinson from the Chicago Blackhawks, sending a 2027 top-12-protected first and Andrew Mangiapane in return. In December, the Oilers also thought they solved their goaltending situation, acquiring Tristan…
When news broke that Leon Draisaitl would be out of the lineup for the remainder of the regular season, I think everyone in Oil Country went through their own mini stages of grief, before the reality set in that it would take a team-wide effort from the rest of the Edmonton Oilers to fill his…
With leagues around the world either in the midst of, or gearing up for, playoff season, attention naturally begins to shift toward notable free agents. While additions from the European free-agent market don’t always pan out, as we saw with the Edmonton Oilers’ recent experiment with David Tomášek, it remains a low-cost, relatively low-risk avenue…
We reported yesterday that the Edmonton Oilers announced that their superstar forward Leon Draisaitl would be out for the remainder of the regular season . But there was no mention of anything to do with treatment or playoff ramifications. Today, Oilers general manager Stan Bowman tried to clarify a couple of things. As the NHL's GM Meetings continue in Florida, insider Elliotte Friedman was able to catch up with Bowman to get the latest on the troubling Leon Draisaitl injury ...
The Oilers have opened their four-game homestand with two wins. Edmonton held off a San Jose Sharks team desperate for points on Tuesday, with five different scorers finding the back of the net in a 5-3 victory. Dmitry Orlov opened the scoring for San Jose seven minutes into the first period, but the Oilers responded…
Despite beating the Predators on Sunday night, the big story from the evening was Leon Draisaitl leaving the game after a hit along the boards, which clearly left more damage than we might have initially anticipated. On Tuesday, the Oilers announced the former MVP would miss the remainder of the season with a lower-body injury….
That’s now back-to-back wins for the Edmonton Oilers. On Tuesday night, the Oilers defeated the San Jose Sharks 5-3 on St. Patrick’s Day, giving them a seven-point lead over the young team. It also moved them into a tie for top spot in the Pacific Division, pending the outcome of the Vegas Golden Knights game….
