Latest news and updates about the Oilers
When Leon Draisaitl took to the ice for two shifts late in the first period of Sunday’s Edmonton Oilers game against the Nashville Predators, there were “no red flags” as the centre tested out an injury, head coach Kris Knoblauch said. The German was shaken up earlier in the game, moments after scoring the opening…
In the week that was Edmonton Oilers hockey, we saw the highs and lows that are a microcosm of the 2025-26 season. The wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche were both tidy and exciting: showcasing a brand of low-event, structured puck in Nevada, and then a dynamic attack off the rush of…
Just like that iconic old E.F. Hutton slogan, but with a twist: When Connor McDavid talks, people listen. Everyone around hockey is talking about the controversial five-game suspension handed out to Radko Gudas for ending Auston Matthews' season with a brutal knee-on-knee hit. So, of course, McDavid was asked to weigh in on it. He spoke to the media in Edmonton on Sunday, and said it's time for "a better way" to hand out punishment: I think the (NHL’s Department of Player Safety) ...
The Edmonton Oilers are back at Rogers Place on Sunday night for Game 68 against the Nashville Predators, and if the last week taught us anything, it’s that this team still simply cannot make things easy on itself. The road trip ended at 2-1-1, which is perfectly respectable if you’re only looking at the standings,…
Head coach Kris Knoblauch provided further details on the Edmonton Oilers goaltender situation going forward on Sunday morning. He told reporters ahead of the Oilers’ matchup against the Nashville Predators that Connor Ingram will be playing more than Tristan Jarry down the stretch of the season. There is one back-to-back scenario remaining on the…
Of the two new additions to the crease in Edmonton by trade, only one of them has found favor with the team, and it isn't Tristan Jarry. It was announced by head coach Kris Knoblauch on Sunday that the Edmonton Oilers have found a new starting goaltender in Connor Ingram. Of the two trades, it appears the deal with the Utah Mammoth for "future considerations" has been the more consequential of the two. Connor Ingram has punched above his weight class, with a subpar defensive...
The Olympics gave the Edmonton Oilers a rare three-week reset after a disappointing stretch of hockey. They limped into the break with an underwhelming 4-5 record despite playing eight of those nine games at home. Coming out of the pause, they introduced major changes across both personnel and systems. They traded for Jason Dickinson, Connor…
After an uneven four-game road trip that started with promise and ended in frustration, the Oilers are back in Edmonton for a four-game homestand. First up on Sunday evening are the Nashville Predators, a team desperately in need of points after losing to the basement-dwelling Canucks earlier this week. Nashville Predators at Edmonton Oilers Date:…
In the immortal words of Dr. Evil to Austin Powers, “We’re not so different, you and I…” The Edmonton Oilers only get 48 hours to chew on their Bettman point after blowing a two-goal, third-period lead against the St. Louis Blues on Friday night, and suffering a 3-2 overtime loss. The Preds have had an…
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Kelly Buchberger comes in at No. 43 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 27 on Brownlee’s original list. The Edmonton Oilers’ dynasty years were built because of not just…
The Edmonton Oilers accomplished the bare minimum, securing a winning record on their four-game road trip this past week. They secured big wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche in the first two games of the trip, dropped a stinker against the Dallas Stars, and watched the St. Louis Blues whittle away and…
The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-1 on their recent four-game road trip, which isn’t bad, but giving up a two-goal lead last game against the St. Louis Blues and losing in overtime certainly stung, letting a valuable point slip away. Nevertheless, there were several positives to take from the trip, including beating a dangerous Colorado Avalanche…
Only 24 hours after a wrestling match broke out at the Oilers game Thursday night in Dallas, the boys were right back to work to wrap up their road trip with a visit to St. Louis. And after getting demolished by the Stars, I was hopeful that the Oilers would respond with their best foot…
Is it Groundhog Day? On Nov. 3, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers were in St. Louis, leading the Blues 2-0, but blew it and fell 3-2. Over four months later in the same building, the same result happened, as the Oilers had a 2-0 lead, blew it, and fell 3-2, albeit in overtime this time. Let’s take…
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Kevin McClelland comes in at No. 44 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 21 on Brownlee’s original list. Everyone knows the key members of the 1980’s dynasty Oilers: Wayne…
Nail Yakupov is widely considered one of the biggest busts in National Hockey League history. That title is deserved as well. Drafted first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2012 draft after scoring 31 goals and 69 points in 42 games with the Sarnia Sting in his draft year, the Russian sniper was considered…
The Edmonton Oilers have made a call-up from the minors on Friday, as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will not play against the St. Louis Blues. The Oilers recalled Max Jones from the Bakersfield Condors, while also placing Colton Dach on long-term injured reserve. Jones will fill in a roster spot in place of Nugent-Hopkins, according to Oilers broadcaster…
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…
Tristan Jarry put up one of the worst starts in his time so far with the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. Facing the red-hot Dallas Stars, Jarry conceded a season-high seven goals on 27 shots, as the Oilers fell 7-2. Earlier this week, Jarry came in for an injured Connor Ingram against the Colorado Avalanche,…
The NHL Trade Deadline passed a week ago, but teams were still able to make trades until today, though any players involved are not eligible to play for their new teams the rest of this season or playoffs. That means AHL players can still move. And the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks have pulled off a swap of forwards. 🚨 An AHL-level TRADE 🚨 To Vancouver: F Jayden Grubbe To Edmonton: F Josh Bloom Grubbe off to AHL-Abbotsford. Bloom to AHL-Bakersfield. @InsideAHLHockey — Tony Androc...
The Edmonton Oilers have made another trade, beyond the normal NHL trade deadline. In a swap of forwards on Friday, the Oilers acquired Josh Bloom from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Jayden Grubbe. Bloom was a third-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres back in the 2021 NHL Draft. In February 2023, he was traded to…
Very quietly, the St. Louis Blues are stringing together some games. It won’t be enough to surge forth into the playoffs in a stacked Central Division, and likely not enough to get them to a wild-card spot, but a 6-1-1 stretch out of the Olympic break means the Edmonton Oilers can’t take them lightly. Edmonton…
If the Edmonton Oilers beat the St. Louis Blues tonight, then the roadtrip is a wild success and last night’s 7-2 loss is all but forgotten. If the Oilers lose, then it’s a 2-2 record on the road trip and the tone shifts, making a sour sound, despite a win over the league’s best team….
It was an ugly night for the Edmonton Oilers. Jason Robertson had two goals and two assists, Wyatt Johnston had another three-point game against Edmonton, and the Dallas Stars went up 5-0 early in the second period, before eventually winning 7-2. Flat as a pancake, an emotional let-down. The Oilers chased the game right from…
It hasn’t even been three months yet, but the Tristan Jarry trade is already starting to look like it could end up being one of the worst in Edmonton Oilers history. That may be a bit of a hot take, but Jarry hasn’t performed nearly as well as one would’ve hoped. Over the 13 games…
