Latest news and updates about the Oilers
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…
The Edmonton Oilers kicked off their road trip with two massive wins in Vegas and Colorado, but the job didn’t get any easier for round three when the boys faced the Dallas Stars. But while the Oilers brought their best for the first two games of the trip, the same could not be said about…
After one of the Edmonton Oilers’ best games of the season, the Oilers put up a stinker in the following game. On Thursday, the Oilers played the third of four games on the road, travelling to Dallas to play the Stars. While it wasn’t as bad as their 8-3 loss earlier this season, it wasn’t…
The Edmonton Oilers will have one of their top players celebrate a significant milestone on Thursday night. As they take the ice to play the Dallas Stars, Zach Hyman will suit up for his 700th National Hockey League game. He’s in his fifth season with the club after signing a seven-year contract back on July…
Five years after coming out as gay, Luke Prokop is promoting a new documentary about his pro hockey journey and has also been speaking about his boyfriend for the first time. The post Only out gay player in North American men’s pro hockey is getting that new boyfriend boost appeared first on Outsports .
The Dallas Stars haven’t lost a regulation game since Jan. 22. They are 12-0-1 in their last 13 games, and their only loss came in the shootout against Colorado last Friday. Five players have averaged a point per game or more during this 13-game stretch, led by Matt Duchene (19 points), Jason Robertson (16), Wyatt…
The injury bug bit the Edmonton Oilers hard on Tuesday night. While they walked out of Colorado with a 4-3 victory over the Avalanche, they did so carrying out a few wounded players. Defenceman Ty Emberson and forward Colton Dach both left the game in the first period after some physical play, while netminder Connor…
After a frustrating loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, the Colorado Avalanche head back out on the road tonight to take on the Seattle Kraken. This will be the second out of three regular-season matchups between these two teams, with the Avs having won the first game by a final score of 5-3. […]
After some inconsistent efforts coming out of the Olympic break, the Oilers have locked things down through the first half of this four-game road trip. Edmonton opened the trip with a 4-2 win in Vegas before taking down the NHL-leading Avalanche 4-3, and now they’ll face another juggernaut in Dallas. Edmonton Oilers at Dallas Stars…
The Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars helped each other out on Tuesday night. Now, they’re at odds again. Despite losing a forward, defenceman, and goaltender, the Oilers gutted out a 4-3 win against the Stars’ rival Colorado. So, the Stars returned the favour and defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 2-1. For the Oilers, it put…
There are some aspects of Edmonton Oilers forward Vasily Podkolzin’s game that don’t necessarily make the highlight reels, like his hard work, the big hits, and the board battles he wins time and again. But lately he’s scored some very nice goals and made some very pretty plays as well, with his last two tallies…
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…
The Chicago Blackhawks weren't that active during the trade deadline. Instead of moving off key pieces, they traded veterans like Nick Foligno (to the Minnesota Wild), Jason Dickinson (to the Edmonton Oilers), plus two prospects: Aidan Thompson and Colton Dach. However, when we turn to other players languishing in AHL Rockford, we notice that Kevin Korchinski is one prospect who had a cup of coffee in the NHL but hasn't been able to break through since. Korchinski has played...

Tensions were high following the Edmonton Oilers’ comeback win over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night, with some a little disappointed with the decision that ended up being a big part of the game. Both Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch and Avalanche bench boss Jared Bednar were asked about the play that led to Avalanche…
The Oilers emerged victorious from a chaotic game in Colorado on Tuesday, handing the NHL-leading Avalanche a 4-3 loss. The win was Edmonton’s second in a row to open this challenging road trip and their first win this season against one of the top three teams in the Western Conference. Ross Colton opened the scoring…
After a strong performance in Vegas to get back in the win column, the Edmonton Oilers faced a mammoth test in Game 2 of their road trip when the team landed in Denver to face the league-leading Colorado Avalanche. And while the first matchup of the series was a lopsided disaster, the second round certainly…
After a whirlwind weekend which saw the return of Nazem Kadri and big shootout wins over the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild, things settled back down into a game every-other-day routine with the Edmonton Oilers in town. In a possible first round match up, this game showed that Edmonton still can pose some problems as […]
Tuesday night’s affair between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche was a much-anticipated one. After all, the last time these two teams met, the Avalanche laid a 9-1 drubbing on the Oilers in Edmonton that was salt in the wound for a team that had been as shaky as ever to start the season. And…
A couple of players have hit some notable milestones. When the puck dropped between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night, forward Leon Draisaitl officially dressed in the 852nd game of his NHL career, while fellow forward Trent Frederic appeared in the 400th game of his career in the big leagues. Draisaitl’s appearance…
The Colorado Avalanche are once again riding a five-game winning streak after beating both the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild via shootout last week, and they’ll look to make it six straight against an Edmonton Oilers team that simply can’t seem to keep the puck out of their own net. Edmonton’s defensive issues — both […]
