Monday Musings: Oilers Shutouts, Hyman and RNH’s Impacts, and some Trade Talk
The Edmonton Oilers finished a five-game-in-seven-day trek in style with back-to-back shutouts over Vancouver and St. Louis. The Oilers won 6-0 in Vancouver on Saturday and 5-0 at home last night. It was only the third time in franchise history that they posted consecutive shutouts by different goalies. Tristan Jarry stopped all 31 shots in…
Curtis Lazar has earned an everyday role for the Oilers
This summer, the Edmonton Oilers parted ways with several veteran bottom-six forwards and acquired younger replacements. Andrew Mangiapane and Jack Roslovic carried the most name value out of the new additions, and David Tomášek provided plenty of intrigue coming off a big year in Sweden. A player who might’ve gone under the radar amongst all…
The Day After 50.0: Oilers dominant in both games of weekend back-to-back
For the ninth time this season, the Edmonton Oilers are on a two-game winning streak.

After beating the wheels off the Canucks on Saturday night, the Edmonton Oilers were back at Rogers Place Sunday to take on the St. Louis Blues in an attempt to finally sweep a back-to-back set.

TBC: We Want Fish Sticks
If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you likely know that I'm a fan of the infamous New York Islanders' Fisherman jersey. That's not to say that I'm not fan of the traditional Islanders jersey nor am I trying to compare the two in terms of which one is better, but I always thought the Islanders were ahead of their time when the Fisherman debuted. The fact that the jerseys lasted for just two seasons after Islanders fans demanded the team go back to the original logo didn't get ...
Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers adjusting to life without Leon Draisaitl
The Edmonton Oilers did pretty well without Leon Draisaitl against the Vancouver Canucks. They won 6-0, looked dominant, and made it seem like maybe life without their second-best player isn’t the disaster everyone thought it would be. Sure, those were the Canucks — a team looking for draft picks instead of wins. But a 6-0…
Pre-Scout: All eyes on Nuge’s 1000th game, but the St. Louis Blues can be sneaky
All eyes and focus will be on the Edmonton Oilers and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as he celebrates the terrific milestone of 1000 games. But in terms of the matchup tonight, the St. Louis Blues have been alright lately, after starting in the doldrums. In the last 10 games, the Blues are an even-steven 5-5, not truly…
The Rundown - Week 12
There were all sorts of playoff implications in the games featured this weekend in Canada West as eight teams looked to strengthen their chances for playoff spots and the related benefits that come with those playoff berths. The only team who wasn't participating was the MacEwan Griffins, and they needed a few teams to help them out by beating the teams they were chasing. Some teams will only have six games remaining on their schedule after this week, so the push for points has to be now if te...

The Day After 49.0: Vancouver’s losing streak reaches 10 games as Oilers hammer Canucks
Remember when the Vancouver Canucks had the Edmonton Oilers down 3-2 in the second round of the playoffs, just one win shy of reaching the Western Conference Final? Neither do they. Everything has gone wrong for the 2023-24 Pacific Division champions since losing Game 7 to the Oilers that spring, making that 50-23-9 record feel…
Nuge Week: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ top 10 most memorable moments ahead of his 1000th game
In Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ rookie season, there was a stretch where he was out of the lineup for a month due to injury. In his first game back, against the Detroit Red Wings, he absolutely dangled future Hall of Famer Niklas Lidstrom — so much so that some joked ‘Nuge’ had deked him into retirement after…
How should the Oilers deploy their defensive pairings?
As we near the 50-game mark of the 2025-26 NHL regular-season, the Edmonton Oilers rank second place in the Pacific Division. However, their overall performance certainly has significant room for improvement, particularly for the standards of a cup contender. This season, the Oilers rank 23rd in the NHL in five-on-five goal differential, having been out‑scored…
Oilers aid Canucks tanking efforts, depth scoring steps up without Draisaitl, and Tristan Jarry’s shutout
On Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers couldn’t buy themselves a goal. They got shut out 1-0 by Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders as Connor McDavid’s 20-game point streak came to a screeching halt. There was no lack of chances, however, as the Oilers poured on 35 shots, but they just couldn’t bear down…
