A day late and a dollar short as Oilers third period comeback against Sabres fails: Recap, Highlights, and Reaction
Well, at least the Edmonton Oilers got a point. On Tuesday evening, the Oilers played the fourth of five games on this homestand, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Buffalo Sabres. Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. Late in the first period, the Oilers found themselves on the penalty kill. No…
Today In NHL History - Hextall's First Goal
On December 8th in 1987, Philadelphia Flyers netminder Ron Hextall fired a puck the length of the ice into an empty Boston Bruins net becoming the first goalie to score a goal in a NHL game. Though New York Islanders backstop Billy Smith had been credited with a goal eight years earlier, it was Colorado Rockies defenceman Rob Ramage who in fact last touched the puck. Thus, Hextall was the

Sabres winger Alex Tuch is a perfect trade target for the Oilers
Three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and the Buffalo Sabres being in the league’s basement. During the late 1990s to late 2000s, the Sabres were a perennial contender, making the Stanley Cup Finals once and making numerous appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals, with their last appearance in the third round coming in…

GDB 30.0: Oilers Can Add to the Sabres’ 15-year Pain (7 PM, SNW)
The last time the Buffalo Sabres made the NHL playoffs, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was playing with the Red Deer Rebels in the Western Hockey League and would be drafted first overall two months later. The year was 2011. There isn’t a fan base in the salary cap era that relates more to the current struggles of…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers get second shot at Sabres
Here’s the thing about the Buffalo Sabres: they’re bad. Like, historically bad. They’ve missed the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons, which is the longest drought in NHL history. They finished the 2024-25 season with a 36-39-7 record. They spent most of December in 31st place overall, tied with the Chicago Blackhawks at 26 points. This…
Pre-Scout: Sabres arrive in Edmonton seared after getting burnt by Flames
The Buffalo Sabres had two days off on their road trip after Friday’s loss to the Winnipeg Jets 4-1, allowing them to catch some of the cold western Canadian air before playing four road games this week. They were snakebit 5-on-5, creating a myriad of 22 high danger chances, according to Natural Stat Trick, but…
From injury adversity, to carving an NHL niche and his best stretch yet, Oilers’ Curtis Lazar showing resilience

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Far Away From Ten
The announcement was made on November 26, but I've been holding off on saying anything simply due to there being a lack of details on what's going to happen and when it will happen. However, the news is true: Simon Fraser University is rejoining U SPORTS and Canada West after spending the last fifteen years competing in the Division II level of the NCAA. There's a lot to be excited about when it comes to this news as the school will now review its options while reorganizing its athletics depar...
Defensive numbers trending up and the Matt Savoie and Isaac Howard debate

That Was Quick
I originally wrote the title of Saturday's article about Steve Oleksy as a joke because I couldn't see any way that Oleksy was trying to come back to hockey after walking away in 2023. As you can see to the left, that comeback ended two days and two games after signing a deal with the Icemen as Jacksonville released Oleksy on Sunday before heading to Atlanta for the third game in three days against the Gladiators. And with that, it's back to family life for Steve, it seems. After Jacksonvil...

Oilers’ fourth-round pick, David Lewandowski, was on the roster and is expected to make the team. Die Mannschaft um U20-Bundestrainer Tobias Abstreiter startet in wenigen…
Oilers rumours: Potential trade for Tristan Jarry wouldn’t include Skinner, Penguins ‘absolutely unwilling’ to retain salary
The Edmonton Oilers’ search for a goaltender nearly landed them Tristan Jarry netminder. But while rumours have swirled that the deal would send Stuart Skinner the other way, that doesn’t appear to be the case. In fact, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday’s edition of the 32 Thoughts podcast that the Oilers have been looking to pair…
Monday Musings: Arrows Up for Oilers, Pacific Division Race and Injury Updates
