Scenes From Morning Skate: Samanski’s big debut and Kapanen’s return
Edmonton Oilers prospect Josh Samanski is set to make his NHL debut tonight against the Anaheim Ducks, and if you’ve been following the Bakersfield Condors all season, you knew this was coming. The 24-year-old has been progressing in the AHL — 7 goals, 21 assists, 28 points and very little ice time on the power…
A look at the impact Oilers’ Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard have had since Team Canada released its Olympic roster
With the way Connor McDavid’s teammates are playing — Zach Hyman, who’s been sizzling for the Edmonton Oilers for almost two months and connected with McDavid for the game-tying goal against the Washington Capitals, and Evan Bouchard, who recorded a six-point night against them — the topic on everyone’s mind just got even bigger: leaving…
Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel doesn’t expect any of his injured defencemen back before break
"I don't see anybody coming before the break" was the comment from the bench boss on his trio of injured defencemen.
Pre-Scout: Huge divisional matchup sees Anaheim Ducks on a 7-game win streak
There is no NHL team that streaks harder than the Anaheim Ducks. You’d think it was an Old School casting call. For a fourth straight time, the Edmonton Oilers play a team that defeated the Calgary Flames just 24 hours before, who won 4-3 in overtime in a game they never led. At one point in…
Oilers recall Josh Samanski, assign Isaac Howard to AHL Condors
The Edmonton Oilers have recalled prospect Josh Samanski from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors, the club announced Tuesday. They also made the coinciding move of assigning winger Isaac Howard to the Condors. The #Oilers have recalled forward Josh Samanski from the @Condors & loaned forward Isaac Howard to Bakersfield. pic.twitter.com/nm0A2bsPD5 — Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) January 26,…

Monday Mailbag: How should the Oilers run their goalie rotation?
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the Oilers’ goaltending rotation, NHL stars getting younger, Andrew Mangiapane trade returns, and more. If you’ve…
NHL weekend rankings: Thoughts on the Penguins, Sharks, and an ugly weekend in Toronto
The eyes of the hockey world were on Toronto this weekend. That’s not unusual, because it's the home of the league’s most important team and whenever they’re not on screen, all the other teams should be asking “Where are the Maple Leafs?” But this time, there were a few specific reasons. The first was Mitch Marner, finally returning to Toronto for the first time since his summer departure to Last Vegas. On Sunday, it was a rare afternoon game, this one featuring a visit from the league’s...

Sunday Scramble: Late game heroics help Oilers avoid tense result, the why & why not on Bouchard and Team Canada
Wow. That’s the type of Edmonton Oilers game that gets the juices flowing. It was an Aspirin game for the producers – hopefully keeping a couple tablets handy just in case Jack Michaels spontaneously combusts mid-play. Before the majesty of Zach Hyman’s late equalizer and Connor McDavid’s overtime heroics in a 6-5 overtime victory, there…

Recap of the game.
Who should be the third-line centre for the Edmonton Oilers?
Without Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on ice this season at 5-on-5, the Edmonton Oilers have been outscored 27 to 55. That translates to an atrocious 33 percent goal share, the lowest Edmonton has posted without them in the entirety of the McDavid and Draisaitl era. The inadequate performance from their depth forwards has been…
The Day After 53.0: Hyman’s late goal, Bouchard’s historic performance carry Oilers over Capitals
That was certainly an exciting way to get back into the win column. After back-to-back uninspiring losses at home earlier this week, the Edmonton Oilers clawed out a wild 6-5 overtime victory over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, evening their record at two wins and two losses through the midway point of their eight-game…
Bouchard’s big night, Team Canada should feel bad, and the Oilers’ gutsy win
It was gut-check time for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. Despite opening their eight-game homestand with a dominant 5-0 win over the St. Louis Blues last Sunday, they posted two absolute stinkers against the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins — the latter of which had me “turn off” the game. (I switched it…

NHL trade rumours: Five top-nine forwards the Oilers could target
The 2026 trade deadline is under six weeks away. On Friday, Daily Faceoff’s Matt Larkin released an updated version of the trade board with some interesting names on it. Of course, the Stanley Cup-contending Edmonton Oilers will be active, as they’re apparently on the hunt for a top-nine forward. Whether that’s a winger or centre…
GDB 53.0: Oilers need to show signs of life against the Capitals (8PM MT, CBC)
The Edmonton Oilers are a couple of days removed from an embarrassing beatdown by the Penguins, and tonight’s game feels like it should come with a bit of a lecture. Not the yelling kind. Not the dramatic kind. Just a quiet, arms-crossed big-dad disappointment that comes when you know a team is capable of more…
Scenes From Morning Skate: It’s time for the Oilers to reset against the Capitals
The Edmonton Oilers need a reset. Not a rebuild, not a complete overhaul — just a hard reset. A game where they remember how to play their brand of hockey, where the intensity returns, where the sloppiness disappears. And tonight against the Washington Capitals might be their best chance to find it. Fans know the…

Coldest Game On Ice
For those who may be reading this article outside of the middle of continent, the frigid temperatures being experienced across Manitoba, North Dakota, Minnesota, and other parts in the midwest are nothing short of dangerous when it comes to frostbite and hypothermia. My hope is that anyone who is outside is bundled up to the point where movement is difficult and I pray that those who are homeless can find warmth tonight because this cold snap is brutal. I'm not one to complain about the cold o...
