GDB 46.0: Oilers Need to Start Taking Advantage of Schedule (6:30 MT, SNW)
The Edmonton Oilers have won three of seven games since the Christmas break. While they have been playing better as of late, they are still struggling to find consistency on a night-to-night basis. They lost in a shootout to the L.A. Kings, who were playing their third game in four nights and on the second…

Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers can’t sleep on Chicago
The Edmonton Oilers head to Chicago tonight to face a Blackhawks team that’s been through absolute chaos recently. An illness bug ripped through the roster, taking out five starters at one point. They had to call up multiple AHL players just to ice a lineup, including an emergency goalie. It was a mess. But here’s…
Pre-Scout: Blackhawks have Connor Bedard back and are in the playoff hunt
Like many youthful teams in 2025-26, the Chicago Blackhawks have yo-yoed up and down this season. After a surprisingly good start, then free-falling as the weather got colder, are the Blackhawks back on the come-up? That’s what their fans hope for ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. Connor Bedard is back after nearly…
A look at the Oilers’ hot line of Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Kapanen through the eyes of Podkolzin’s skills coach, Ned Lukacevic
A 4-3 shootout defeat to the Los Angeles Kings stings, but the Vasily Podkolzin–Leon Draisaitl–Kasperi Kapanen line was a silver lining for the Edmonton Oilers, keeping their hot streak alive by combining for two goals in the game. Kapanen returned to the lineup three games ago, joining Podkolzin and Draisaitl on the second line, and…
NHL weekend rankings: The Senators, and other tales of Eastern Conference misery
Last week, I committed a grave violation of the eastern sportswriter protocol by talking about the Pacific Division. Specifically, how comically bad it was . Apparently, some Eastern Conference teams were jealous. And like a toddler who hasn’t quite grasped the distinction between good attention and bad attention, they responded by making a nasty mess all over the floor. Is that chocolate? I really hope that’s chocolate. OK, fair’s fair. Let’s talk about a few of the utter disasters unfolding ...
Monday Mailbag: Have the Oilers made their goalie tandem decision?
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 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ Oilers career, Connor Ingram vs. Calvin Pickard, Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours, and more. If…

NHL trade rumours: Hurricanes’ Jesperi Kotkaniemi a good option for the Oilers, but cap issues could get in the way
There is a potential third-line centre on the market for the Edmonton Oilers. On Friday morning, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the Carolina Hurricanes are listening to offers regarding Jesperi Kotkaniemi. It’s a bit surprising given the Hurricanes are considered a Stanley Cup favourite, but it’s been a rough season for the 26-year-old, left-shot centre….
Sunday Scramble: The predictably unpredictably Oilers, a bad day for the Senators, and annoying whistling at Mammoth games
I, for one, am finding the humour in the Edmonton Oilers‘ inability to string together three wins. Oh, the Los Angeles Kings, one of your biggest rivals, are in town after losing to Winnipeg just 24 hours before? Whack. Big divisional game to keep pace? A jazzed-up building celebrating the Great and Powerful Leon Draisaitl…

The Rundown - Week 11
Eight teams returned to action this weekend with playoff implications being the story arc in a few of those series. The Alberta Pandas started the second half with the bye, but there was action played at Clare Drake Arena as well. We'll touch on that game after the Canada West games are reviewed, but, with the number of games remaining getting smaller for everyone involved, this weekend was all about collecting points for those who still have playoff hopes. Let's see who did what to help their...

The defenceman left in the 1st, tested things out before the 2nd but went back down the tunnel.
The Day After 45.0: Kings edge out road victory against Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers still can’t win three consecutive games. They were handed a prime opportunity on Saturday, with the Los Angeles Kings coming to town fresh off a loss in Winnipeg the night before. Leon Draisaitl, who was honoured prior to puck drop for reaching 1,000 career NHL points, opened the scoring midway through the…
Oilers cannot win three straight games, Leon Draisaitl’s big night, and the Corey Perry revenge goal
Could there be a better opportunity for the Oilers to finally lock down their first three-game win streak of the season than on a night when the rival Los Angeles Kings were in town? I didn’t think so. If Edmonton couldn’t get fired up for their first matchup of the season against a tired Kings…

Letters to the Editor: Maybe the Oilers shouldn’t be big buyers at the trade deadline
Got your coffee? It’s time to dig into this week’s Letters to the Editor. It’s on the players… The hand-wringing about the bottom-six is getting tiresome, especially when the finger is pointed at the players. Fact is, the bottom-six is where players go to die in Edmonton. We haven’t had a legit one since the…

Oilers’ quest for third straight win falls short in controversial loss to Kings: Recap, Reaction and Highlights
The Edmonton Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season has to wait. On Saturday evening, the Oilers fell 4-3 in a shootout to the Los Angeles Kings, moving their season record to 22-16-7. It was a rather disappointing end to what was a solid hockey game. Let’s take a look at what went on…
