Latest news and updates about the Oilers
It’s safe to say that Jack Roslovic has settled into life as an Edmonton Oiler. Early in his time in Edmonton, he got a taste of the line blender as Kris Knoblauch and co. tried to find the right fit for the winger. Consider it found, as Roslovic has seemed to find a home on…
The St. Louis Blues haven’t won a game since October 18th. They are 0-5-2 in their last seven games and 3-7-2 all season. They’ve been outscored 50-34. They rank last in goals against at 4.17/game and they’ve allowed a league-high 34 goals 5×5. Their defensive game and goaltending are in shambles. They are 0-7-1 when…
The Edmonton Oilers have been linked to Kiefer Sherwood thanks to Edmonton Journal insider David Staples , who amplified Bob Stauffer’s on-air speculation that Sherwood could be an ideal middle-six target if the Vancouver Canucks cannot extend him. The appeal is obvious for the Oilers: Sherwood’s contract sits at a tidy $1.5 million AAV, he delivered a career-best 19 goals and 40 points in 2024–25, and he has erupted with nine goals in his first 12 games this season. Add a heavy fo...

The Edmonton Oilers have a roster crunch coming. And it sounds like one of the victims could be defenseman Troy Stecher, who was a healthy scratch again Saturday night. The 31-year-old has played just six of the Oilers' 13 games this season, and has no points, while averaging 13:37 of ice time. According to insider Elliotte Friedman on Hockey Night in Canada , Stecher could be the odd man out with several players returning to the Edmonton lineup. They got a lot of players coming back fro...
Another sport rarely takes precedence over hockey on a Saturday night in Canada, but that was the case on November 1 as the Blue Jays faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series. The fans in attendance at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Blackhawks game wanted to root for the…
Before the 2025-26 campaign began, I wrote about what a successful season could look like for Vasily Podkolzin. I mentioned that success for him would include being a leader in hits on the Edmonton Oilers — which he currently is with 46 hits — and also surpassing the 30-point plateau. I wrote that surpassing that…
After a disastrous finish against the Rangers on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were looking to rebound (again) against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks. The Oilers cleaned up against Chicago in 2024-25, but the Blackhawks are having a much stronger start to the season, and it was going to take a clean effort if our boys…
The pitchforks have been out this season for Evan Bouchard. The mistakes have mounted, and it all came to a head Thursday night against the New York Rangers. After the loss in which Bouchard’s play cost them, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch was blunt: “If there’s accumulation of mistakes that are costing us regularly, then…
The Blackhawks lost in overtime last night, but it was a much better, closer game than the previous tilt in Winnipeg. The Blackhawks held the Oilers to two goals in regulation — both coming on the power play. According to Natural Stat Trick , the Blackhawks had a 52-49 shot attempt advantage at 5-on-5 in regulation. The Hawks had a 9-5 advantage in high danger chances in regulation as well. Connor Bedard, André Burakovsky and Ryan Greene were outstanding last night. They combined for 10 s...
The Blackhawks played well enough to force overtime but not well enough to skate away with both points as the host Edmonton Oilers picked up a 3-2 win over Chicago on Saturday night. The first period ended scoreless, but only by a fraction of a second because of this Leon Draisaitl shot during an Edmonton power play that crossed the goal line moments after the clock hit zero: Time expired a fraction of a second before Leon Draisaitl's shot crossed the goal line. Scoreless after the f...
Edmonton Oilers fans who cheer for the Toronto Blue Jays got at least some good news Saturday night, as Evan Bouchard’s overtime goal would secure them a win over the Chicago Blackhawks. While the Blue Jays would lose Game 7 of the World Series to the L.A. Dodgers in the 11th inning, the Oilers’ extra…
The Blackhawks actually did a really nice job of holding their own for 19 minutes and 59.9 seconds in the first period. With Wyatt Kaiser was in the box, Leon Draisaitl rifled a shot that got thru Spencer Knight for what would have been a power play goal to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead … if the shot went in before the clock hit all zeroes. It did not. And doughnuts remained on the board into the intermission. Draisaitl did score late in the power play that carried over to start the second p...

Amidst another sleepy October for the Edmonton Oilers, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is providing the team with the consistency and the offensive spark at the top of the lineup that they desperately need.

Tonight, the Oilers are back at Rogers Place for a matchup with a Chicago Blackhawks team that looks a whole lot different than the version we saw last season. Edmonton won both meetings in 2024–25 — one in overtime and one by a 3–0 shutout — but picking up a series sweep against this Blackhawks…
