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…
Oilers’ Connor McDavid extends point streak to a career-best 18 games
On the night that Leon Draisaitl celebrated his 1,000th National Hockey League point, Connor McDavid surpassed a career best. Coming into Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings, McDavid had a 17-game point streak, the third time he’s reached that milestone. Over those 17 games, McDavid has 18 goals and 41 points. Well, McDavid’s point…
His Better Half
A lot of people likely recognize the guy to the right as Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie. Beside him stands his beautiful wife, Haley, who has to deal with all of Eric's career twists and turns including moving when Eric is traded or signs elsewhere, keeping daily distractions from Eric when he's scheduled to play, and dealing with an unhappy goaltender if he has an off night. I'm not a professional athlete so I'm sure I've left a few details out about some of the stuff Haley does for Eri...
NHL News: Former Oiler Philip Broberg signs six-year, $8-million AAV extension, Hamilton and Devils work on trade

On Saturday afternoon, The Athletic’s Jeremy Rutherford reported that Broberg and the St. Louis Blues have agreed on a six-year extension worth $8 million annually. BREAKING: #stlblues sign Philip Broberg to a six-year, $48 million contract extension ($8 million AAV) — Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherford) January 10,…
GDB 45.0: Oilers and Kings meet for the first time since the handshake line (8PM MT, CBC)
The Edmonton Oilers are back at Rogers Place tonight to take on the Los Angeles Kings, and this one feels like it could get spicy without having to try too hard. These teams don’t just dislike each other, but they’ve built a real hatred over the last few years. Our boys keep knocking the Kings…
Scenes From Morning Skate: An insightful look at the Oilers and Kings after facing the Jets
Tonight’s matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings isn’t a measuring stick. It’s not a playoff preview or some grand test of where either team stands. But it will be insightful, and that’s all you should take from it. Both teams are coming off games against the Winnipeg Jets, who were stuck in…
The Hips Don't Lie
Eight teams were in action today in Canada West women's hockey action, but it was the one team who wasn't that lead to today's discovery. I'll talk more about those other games on The Rundown on Sunday, but it was an exhibition game between the Alberta Pandas and the ACAC's Red Deer Polytechnic Queens that had me checking Alberta's website for scoring information. While I was there, I noticed they had published the boxscore for their exhibition game last week against the NAIT Ooks, so I went a...
Oilers loan Stillman to AHL Condors as Walman, Jarry near return from LTIR

Pre-Scout: Kings renew hostilities with Oilers after handing Jets first win in forever
When the Edmonton Oilers left Winnipeg on Thursday night, the Jets looked demoralized. They’d blown yet another lead and flailed down the stretch of another winnable game. Twenty-four hours later, those same down-bad Jets snapped their 11-game losing skid against the Oilers’ opponent on Saturday night – the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings may have…
Stripes Are All The Rage
It should come as no surprise that stripes play an important role on the sweaters and jerseys worn throughout hockey history. Stripes can add contrast, be used to separate jersey segments, accentuate logos, or provide a look that others may not have for a touch of uniqueness. We saw the New York Rangers use thicker stripes on their Winter Classic jerseys to help create that old-school look while the Florida Panthers used stripes to really add contrast and a pop of colour to their jerseys. Stri...
Oilersnation wants your Letters to the Editor!
There are a few things I love more in the world than newspapers. They’ve existed for hundreds of centuries as ways to disseminate information to the public, and for nearly as long as they’ve been printed, so too have Letters to the Editor. Those letters serve to give you, the reader, a voice — something…
Ask Dubey: How to deal with the anxiety and pressure of being a goaltender
Welcome back to another edition of Ask Dubey! There were a number of great questions this week, focusing on the mental side of the game, how I dealt with pressure and the mental side of goaltending, and advice that I would give to young goaltenders dealing with the same thing. Let’s jump into a couple…
The Oilers have one thing left to try with Trent Frederic: killing penalties
Edmonton Oilers one thing left to try with Trent Frederic: killing penalties If Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman had a hot tub time machine, he wouldn’t create the search engine “Lougle” or change the result of the Earnest Byner fumble – he’d trim six years off of Trent Frederic’s contract. It’s been an unmitigated…

Flashback Friday: Looking at trades with the Kings in the 21st century
On Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers play the Los Angeles Kings for the first time this season. No doubt, the Kings are upset about their fourth consecutive series defeat at the hands of the Oilers. Last year, they were oh so close, but blew a 2-0 series lead with late leads in Games 3 and 4….
Oilers trade rumours: Jets, Sharks, check in on Mangiapane, could the Blue Jackets be a trade partner?
NHL teams continue to kick tires on Oilers’ disgruntled forward Andrew Mangiapane. The Edmonton Oilers scratched Mangiapane for the second straight game on Thursday, a 4-3 comeback win over the Winnipeg Jets. But is a deal imminent? It doesn’t appear so. There is interest, but the inner workings of a trade haven’t been fleshed out…
NHL trade rumours: Canucks ‘tried to peddle’ Evander Kane back to Oilers, but ‘that ship has sailed’
Evander Kane back to the Edmonton Oilers? That’s what the Vancouver Canucks tried to make happen, only for the Oilers to shoot any suggestion dead in the water. The report came from Donnie and Dhali’s Rick Dhaliwal, who reported the news on Friday on Sportsnet 650’s Halford and Brough in the Morning. Here’s what Dhaliwal had to…
Eighth time could be the charm for Oilers’ elusive three-game win streak and a look at McDavid’s ridiculous heater
In the 2023 season, the Edmonton Oilers did it on their first try. In 2024, it also occurred on their first attempt. In 2025, it took them four tries, and tomorrow night against the Los Angeles Kings, the Oilers will go for it on their eighth attempt. We are talking about the elusive three-game winning…

The Day After 44.0: Oilers dominate second and third periods to hand Winnipeg 11th straight loss
Times are tough in Winnipeg. Last year’s Central Division champions, who cruised through the regular season to a 56-22-4 record, have fallen off a cliff. The Oilers handed the Jets their 11th straight loss Thursday night at Canada Life Centre. After the home side jumped out to a 3-1 first-period lead, Edmonton flipped the script,…
