Scenes Morning Skate: At least the Edmonton Oilers aren’t the Vancouver Canucks Life’s tough right now for the Edmonton Oilers.

The Vancouver Canucks are fully embracing the…

Every once in a while, a moment pops up through the chaos of an NHL season, and you realize you’ve been watching the same player your entire adult life. For many Oilers fans around our fair city, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is that guy. As I write this today, my man is knocking on the door of…
On Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers head on a brief road trip to take on the Vancouver Canucks. The two Western Conference Canadian teams have a shared history. Mark Messier has been the captain of both teams and they’ve played a handful of postseason matchups against one another, the most recent being in 2024. If we’re…

For a team that has needed consistent goaltending, it sure would be a poor decision for the Edmonton Oilers to send Connor Ingram down. With Tristan Jarry being activated off the long-term injured reserve this week, the Oilers have three goaltenders on the roster, with Calvin Pickard being the third. Obviously, Jarry is going nowhere,…
It’s been over a month since the Stuart Skinner era ended for the Edmonton Oilers, after he was dealt to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a mid-December exchange that saw the acquisition of Tristan Jarry. In an interview with The Hockey News’ Kelsey Surmacz published Wednesday, Skinner opened up about the trade and his transition to…
When the Pittsburgh Penguins traded Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers earlier this season, my immediate reaction was that it was probably a trade that needed to happen and had a good chance of working out for the Penguins. Perhaps in multiple ways. It was a great time to move Jarry’s contract, it opened the […]
Sometimes, all you need is one. That was the case on Thursday evening in Edmonton for the visiting New York Islanders, as star goaltender Ilya Sorokin turned aside all 35 shots that the Oilers threw his way for a 1-0 victory. On a night where the Oilers did almost everything right, one mistake proved to…
After falling to the Predators in overtime on Tuesday, the Oilers were back at home to close out their season series against the New York Islanders. The Islanders took the first round back in October, and if our boys were going to repay the favour, they would need to execute a whole lot better than…
After an even first period, the Edmonton Oilers really took over the game tonight and the New York Islanders looked lost. But while Connor Ingram was pretty good for the Oilers, turning away 17 of 18 shots, he was no Ilya Sorokin. Sorokin rebounded nicely from a rough night in Winnipeg, picking up his fifth […]
There’s nothing more boring than a game against the New York Islanders. That was the fate of the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday evening. After 60 minutes of “action”, the Oilers fell 1-0 to Ilya Sorokin. Let’s take a look at what happened. The lone goal came with about six minutes left in the game on…
The Edmonton Oilers may have figured out their ideal lines ahead of the 2026 trade deadline. After Adam Henrique went down with an injury on January 6th, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch put together a makeshift third line of Isaac Howard, Jack Roslovic, and Matthew Savoie. In that time, the Oilers have also seemingly figured…
On Thursday, top Edmonton Oilers prospect and Bakersfield Condors winger Quinn Hutson was selected to participate in the 2026 AHL All-Star Classic. It’s the second consecutive season the Condors have had a rookie selected, with Matthew Savoie part of last year’s special edition game. Feeling like an All Star⭐️
When was the last time we could say that the Edmonton Oilers have goaltending depth to trade from? That seems to be the case right now, as Connor Ingram has impressed the team with his work since coming up in late December, and Tristan Jarry has returned to the crease as well after missing several weeks. They also have a smoking-hot prospect tearing it up at the AHL level. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Flyers could be in a bind between the pipes. Dan Vladar has been excellent as the No...
The Islanders’ road train is in Alberta for the end of the week, with a meeting vs. the Oilers in Edmonton on the docket. The goalie matchup looks like Ilya Sorokin opposite Connor Ingram. It appears the lineup will remain the same as the 5-4 loss in Winnipeg, including Max Tsyplakov as a scratch and […]
The Edmonton Oilers have a problem. They’re pressed up tight to the salary cap, and while they’ve been able to manoeuvre by activating Jake Walman and Tristan Jarry from the Long-Term Injured Reserve by placing an injured Adam Henrique there, they won’t be able to do that forever. In fact, when the time comes to…
Kris Knoblauch chose Connor Ingram over Calvin Pickard for tonight’s game, and the message is becoming clearer: Ingram’s earned his spot, at least for now. We all know the Edmonton Oilers can only carry three goaltenders for so long before someone has to head to Bakersfield. Tonight, the only place Pickard is going is the…
This is the second straight time the Edmonton Oilers host a team that just lost to the Winnipeg Jets. The New York Islanders make their annual pilgrimage to Edmonton following a 5-4 loss, as they glide across the continent on a season-long road trip. The group upfront took the blame, despite coming back from three…
