Latest news and updates about the Oilers
The roster shuffle has begun for the Edmonton Oilers in the wake of Zach Hyman’s return to the lineup. With the winger set to return Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Oilers placed defenceman Troy Stecher on waivers and assigned winger Isaac Howard to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors. The #Oilers have placed defenceman Troy Stecher…
Tyson Foerster returned to the lineup for Wednesday night’s game against the Edmonton Oilers, and Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet put him back together with his usual linemates of Noah Cates and Bobby Brink. However, Tocchet decided to mix up the other lines for that one rather than try to build on the chemistry that some of the other forwards have built. That didn’t turn out so well as the Flyers went long stretches without much offensive pressure against Edmonton, and Tocche...
In case you somehow haven’t noticed, the Edmonton Oilers’ goalie tandem has not looked good to start the season. Through 19 games, Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard have now combined for an .863 SV% and a 3.42 GAA. Of course, this is nothing new. For years now, fans have been screaming at Oilers brass to…
After a lucky offside call gave the Oilers the lane needed to pull out an OT win in Philly on Wednesday, they were back to work 24 hours later for a rematch against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The boys stole a win from the Blue Jackets on Monday, and I was curious to see what…
Thursday night’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets marked the 19th time this season that the Edmonton Oilers laced up their skates without Zach Hyman.

Right back in the loss column for the Edmonton Oilers. On Thursday evening, the Oilers played the second game against the Columbus Blue Jackets in just 72 hours.

The Edmonton Oilers haven’t won a game in Columbus since October 30th, 2019. They didn’t play there in 2020 or 2021 due to COVID, and they’ve lost all four visits since, however, the good news is one of the players who always scores against them is now on their team, and he’s scoring big goals…
Of all the guys. That’s what a Columbus Blue Jackets fan must’ve been thinking in overtime on Monday night.

The Oilers were in Philadelphia on Wednesday to kick off their seven-game road trip and the first half of a back-to-back set that wraps up tonight in Columbus. The boys squeezed out a 2-1 overtime win over the Flyers to get the trip started, and while it took until the extra frame to get the…

While Stuart Skinner hasn't been as bad as last season and has held things together for the most part, the Edmonton Oilers need a goalie upgrade. The Oilers' starter has his moments, but also plenty of bad moments. Calvin Pickard has been worse than last season and if the team is finally going to get over the mountain and win the Stanley Cup, a goalie upgrade is needed. That hasn't been something the Oilers have been quiet about as it appears as though GM Stan Bowman has checked in on many goa...
The Edmonton Oilers found a way to get a win, securing their second straight overtime winner off the stick of Jack Roslovic.

The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting Connor McDavid and his band of Edmonton Oilers tonight. The visitors are experiencing a miserable start to their season, like every single year, but it feels different. McDavid and Draisaitl are carrying a bag full of bodies to some wins, but their recent thrashing in a 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche has still left a mark. Can the Flyers take advantage of a weakened Oilers team missing a couple key forwards? Or, will Edmonton keep trying to prove do...
The dance of mediocrity is often one step forward, one step back, or two steps forward, two steps back. It’s not where you want to be, and this season the Oilers reside in mediocrity. They have enough skill and talent to rise above the mushy middle, but through 17 games, they’ve struggled with consistency. Their…
The Philadelphia Flyers return to action on Wednesday night with a matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers suffered a 9-1 home loss to the Avalanche on Saturday night and had to come from behind to beat the Blue Jackets on Monday night. To put it simply, the team that has lost in the Stanley Cup Final in the last two years is struggling mightily right now. They’re without Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, leaving Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to carry even more of the load than they usuall...
Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch gave the fans screaming for accountability on Evan Bouchard an early Christmas gift on Monday night. With just over eight minutes left in the first period, Knoblauch had seen enough of his $10.5 million defenceman and parked him on the bench until the second frame. Bouchard took an unnecessary…
