‘So much wrong with this selection’: Fans split over Team Canada’s Olympic roster snubs
It’s the roster announcement Canadians have been waiting for since 2014. Team Canada revealed its roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina on Wednesday with plenty of reactions that followed. For the last few years, there’s been a lot of debate amongst fans and circles on who should represent Canada on the most significant…
Scenes From Morning Skate: The Oilers lines just got weirder
So, let’s get this straight. The Edmonton Oilers are about to face the Boston Bruins tonight on New Year’s Eve, and Andrew Mangiapane — yes, the same Andrew Mangiapane who was a healthy scratch literally one game ago — is now skating on the second line with Leon Draisaitl. I’m sorry, what? Look, we’ve all…
Oilers: Game film shows what Alec Regula needs to do to avoid further healthy scratches
The Alec Regula experiment has hit a stumbling block recently with the Edmonton Oilers, so much so that Kris Knoblauch opted to play Riley Stillman, a career AHLer, in his spot against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. Regula was a mystery coming into the season. He was claimed off waivers last December but never…
The Day After 40.0: Win over Jets has Oilers atop Pacific Division standings
The Edmonton Oilers have sole possession of first place in the NHL’s Pacific Division. It’s the first time all season such has been the case for the Oilers, who struggled out the gate to start the season, only to go on a 9-4-1 in the month of December, shooting them up the standings. Their ninth…
NHL trade rumours: Three teams who could acquire Oilers’ Andrew Mangiapane
The Edmonton Oilers gutted out a 3–1 win over the Winnipeg Jets last night, doing so without forward Andrew Mangiapane, who was a healthy scratch. Perhaps the scratch was simply a reflection of his recent play, or it could signal something more. As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman noted on a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts…
Top 10 Oilers stories of 2025: #7 — Kings’ arrogance cost them against Oilers in playoffs
Welcome to Oilersnation’s top 10 stories of the year, where we count down the most-read stories you, the reader, clicked on in 2025. The Edmonton Oilers have Los Angeles Kings have duked it out in the first round of the playoffs in each of the last four years. In the 2022 playoffs, they won in…
Noah Philp the latest example of Oilers erroneous decision to prioritize veterans over development
Noah Philp is a 27-year-old who has only appeared in 30 career NHL games, and most of those games were far from memorable. Losing him on waivers is far from the end of the world. It is, however, an example of what I view as a relatively large organizational flaw that the Edmonton Oilers have…
Oilers’ Calvin Pickard shines, raging Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and have we seen the last of Andrew Mangiapane
I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that Saturday’s loss to the Flames was one of the more disappointing outcomes we’ve had lately. The Oilers were outplayed for stretches, hit posts en masse, and ultimately came up a goal short of picking up at least a point in the first game…

Jets’ six-game slide (0-3-3) continues with 3–1 loss to Oilers, Winnipeg tied for last in NHL
Recap of the game.
First Out Of The Tournament Again
If you look at the picture to the left, there's something significant about that image. That picture was taken with 5:18 to play after Sparta Praha went up 2-1 on Canada when Filip Chlapík scored from former Winnipeg Jets forward Kristian Vesalainen, and you may notice that there's only one white jersey in the entire picture. Far be it for me to suggest that's how Canada played this entire Spengler Cup tournament, but scoring just two goals in two losses when they had a chance to earn the bye ...
McDavid’s point streak stays alive as Oilers beat Jets 3-1: Recap, Reaction and Highlights

Another Edmonton Oiler has been activated off of Long-Term Injured Reserve, but this one will be going to the AHL. On Monday, the Oilers activated Connor Clattenburg and loaned him to the Bakersfield Condors, where he started the season. He last was in the lineup for the Oilers on Dec. 4 against the Seattle Kraken. …
GDB 40.0: Oilers look to bounce back against Jets (5:30 PM, Prime)
The Edmonton Oilers haven’t lost consecutive games in over a month. They are 10-5-1 since November 21st, but they will need to be sharper tonight in Winnipeg than they were in Calgary on Saturday if they want to avoid a second straight loss. The Winnipeg Jets are desperate and angry after losing 4-3 in overtime…
Hurricanes claim Noah Philp off waivers
Noah Philp is gone from the Edmonton Oilers organization. The Carolina Hurricanes claimed Philp off of waivers on Monday afternoon, after working his way back from a reported concussion. The 27-year-old played 15 games with the Oilers this season, scoring two goals and adding an assist before his injury. Philp was one of two Oilers…

The Winnipeg Jets are desperate and angry after losing 4-3 in overtime…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Knobluach shuffles the forward group
Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch changed the lines ahead of Monday night’s game in Winnipeg. Matt Savoie is back with Leon Draisaitl and Vasily Podkolzin on the second line, while Jack Roslovic is centring the third line between Mattias Janmark and Trent Frederic. Who knew Roslovic playing centre was even an option? Apparently, Knoblauch…
Pre-Scout: Jets look for elusive win against Oilers after five straight one-goal losses
You could call it a freefall. In the span of a few months, the Winnipeg Jets have gone from a first-place President’s Trophy regular season to today, where on December 29th, they sit just one point out of 32nd place. A miserable November has turned into a ghastly December, even with the return of Hart…
Are the Oilers looking to trade Andrew Mangiapane?
On the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman spent a few minutes talking about Andrew Mangiapane and how his time with the Oilers might be winding down. According to Sportsnet’s insider, Mangiapane might be willing to waive his no-trade clause if Edmonton can find him a bigger role elsewhere. Needless to say,…
NHL weekend rankings: The good, the bad, and the teams I can't figure out
With three nights off last week, we didn’t have as many games as usual this week. That means that our rankings won’t move all that much from last time. And more importantly, it means fewer opportunities to learn anything new. That’s bad news for me, because there are a handful of teams where I need all the information I can get, because I just can’t figure them out. I’m not clueless about absolutely everyone. I know that the Avalanche are good, and that the Blackhawks are bad, and that all of ...
The Flames grit embarrassed the Oilers depth
Saturday night was one where hard work defeated skill as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames collided for the second time in a week. The Flames’ fourth line ran the Oilers’ show, as Edmonton’s bottom-six may as well have stayed at home to eat leftover Christmas dinner. While the stars did show up for the…
