Latest news and updates about the Oilers
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…
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.

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.

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…
