Latest news and updates about the Oilers
There are plenty of lessons the Edmonton Oilers can take from Thursday’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning, because their path from frustration to dominance is a blueprint that should hit close to home. Like most expansion teams, the Lightning spent years stumbling around the basement before finding their footing. By the mid-2000s, they had built…
Apparently, the transition from the Edmonton Oilers to the Toronto Maple Leafs is a seamless one for Troy Stecher. Some players can’t handle the stress of playing in the Toronto market, particularly as they’re off to one of their slowest starts in a decade. But for Stecher, it’s just another day, especially after getting out…
The Edmonton Oilers need to acquire a netminder before it’s too late. This is something that most people are aware of, but over the past few seasons, I have been an ardent supporter of Stuart Skinner. Through the quarter mark of the 2025-26 season, Skinner’s flaws have been exposed even more than in the past…

A rested Tampa Bay Lightning team gets to face a team that played last night? Usually, it’s the other way around, or at least that’s what it seems like. Yes, ...
After whatever the hell that was in Buffalo on Monday, the Oilers hit the ice in Washington on Wednesday, hoping to look like a professional hockey team again. Getting pumped 5-1 by a Sabres squad missing half its forwards isn’t exactly a confidence booster, so I looked at last night’s matchup against the Capitals as…
Wednesday was another night much like so many have been this season for the Edmonton Oilers. They got down early, watching the Washington Capitals score twice in the first six minutes of the game, and all the Oilers could do was chase. And much like other nights throughout this season, the Oilers found a way…
At this point, almost everyone knows that the Edmonton Oilers need better goaltending, but it isn't always that easy to come by. Some of the highest-paid goaltenders are sub-.900 SV%, while others are unexpectedly playing great, season after season. One thing remains the same though. The Oilers' goaltending brings them down. The Oilers have made attempts to get goalies who have been traded in recent years, but to no avail. At this point, it is very much needed as Calvin Pickard appears to be d...

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’ inability to play a full 60 minutes, Calvin Pickard’s spot in the lineup, the return of Zach Hyman, line combos, and much more….
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. That streak is set to come to an end on Saturday as the rugged winger is set to make his season debut against the Carolina Hurricanes, and it couldn’t come…

[ PHLY ] *Wednesday’s loss was frustrating, not only because of how it played out but because it seems like it played out in a way that way too many games this season have played out. [ The...
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. Unlike Monday’s game, the Oilers couldn’t rally late, falling 5-4 to the Eastern Conference team. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. In…
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers’ beatdown by Colorado, Jay and Baggedmilk’s trip out east, and much more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look…
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. Connor McDavid goes supernova in the 3rd period to lead the comeback, but it’s Jack Roslovic, who played 228 games as a Jacket, who ended the game on a silky OT breakaway move 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. It came in part thanks to a swift offside challenge from Oilers video coach Noah Segall that negated a Travis Konecny goal in the final minute of the third, but that goal didn’t…
