Oilers fall to .500 as Capitals run up the score: Recap, Highlights, and Reaction
That was the most fun Edmonton Oilers game of the season, and arguably their best despite the loss. On Wednesday evening, the Oilers played their fifth of seven consecutive games on the road, falling 7-4 to the Washington Capitals to bring their season record to 9-9-4. Let’s take a look at what went on in…

All 29 times the Leafs have traded away a first rounder, ranked from best to worst
I love trades and I love rankings, and I’m a Maple Leafs fan so it goes without saying that I love misery. For today’s post, I figured I’d combine all of those things into one piece, with a ranking of all the times that the Maple Leafs have traded away a first-round pick. After all, it feels like a timely topic right about now. After some digging, I found there have been 29 separate trades in Leafs history in which they’ve traded away a total of 31 first-round picks, so I did what any normal p...
The Oilers can fix their penalty kill with this one simple trick
To sit here and say the penalty kill has been a major issue for the Edmonton Oilers would be a bit disingenuous. They’ve operated at an 81.5 percent clip following Monday’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the 13th-ranked penalty kill. At home, they’ve one of the best on the kill, at a 90.5 percent clip…

WWYDW: Should the Oilers call somebody up from the AHL?
The Oilers are having a bad time right now. Their consistently inconsistent run of late is beyond frustrating, and the analytics suggest it isn’t bad luck — that this is actually not a good hockey team. Last week, we waxed on about our dream goalies and a week later, we don’t have any action on…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers adjust lines as injuries test depth
The Edmonton Oilers head into Washington on Wednesday night with a lineup that looks less like strategic planning and more like making the best of what’s available. Injuries have forced Kris Knoblauch’s hand, pushing him to experiment with combinations that, under normal circumstances, might never see the ice together. First, look at the second line:…
GDB 22.0: Where has Edmonton’s defensive game gone? (5:00 PM MT, SN)
After two seasons of being one of the top defensive teams in the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in the bottom third of the league at the one-quarter mark of the season. It is a problem, and the players and coaches need to fix it. Quickly. The challenge is that there isn’t just one…

Former Oilers assistant coach Paul Coffey reportedly ‘butted heads’ with other members of coaching staff
When the Edmonton Oilers opened the 2025-26 season a little over one month ago, the primary point of concern was whether the team’s goaltending duo could be good enough to get them over the hump. Now sitting with a mediocre 9-8-4 record at the quarter-mark of the campaign, that concern has ballooned from run-of-the-mill goaltending…
Oilers lose Noah Philp and Curtis Lazar for remainder of road trip with upper-body injuries
The Edmonton Oilers will be without forwards Noah Philp and Curtis Lazar for the remainder of their seven-game road trip, head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed after the team’s morning skate in Washington. Needless to say, the injuries are starting to pile up around here. According to EdmontonOilers Head Coach Kris Knoblauch both Noah Philp and…

Pre-Scout: The Capitals might not be scoring much, but they’re very tough to score on
Certainly, there’s enough shenanigans happening on Capitol Hill that the lacklustre start for the Washington Capitals is flying under the radar. Blink and you would have missed in the 20,000 released emails this revelatory phrase: “The Caps aren’t scoring, Donny.” Perhaps a regular season where everything went right a year ago is regressing just as…

NHL insider on Darnell Nurse’s struggles: ‘I have wondered if all the noise has gotten to him’
If you’re a defenceman who makes a lot of money and plays for the Edmonton Oilers, you’re likely to be the talk of the town more often than not. And recently it has been for all the wrong reasons. Both Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse are prime examples of that, lightning rods for criticism in…

Is This A Birthday Suit?
When the SPHL's Huntsville Havoc announced that they were changing their logos for this season, I wasn't sure what to expect. After all, how does one design "Havoc" as a logo? While they had a somewhat tame logo for the last few seasons, I never expected them to go back to a cartoonish logo like the one to the left, but that's what they unveiled before the start of this season. Maybe it's more appealing to kids and families, but we're not here to talk about this logo because the Huntsville Hav...
Oilersnation Radio: The Oilers are lifeless and it’s bumming everyone out
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Oilers’ inability to play complete games, the lack of offence, the wear and tear from the consistent losses, and much more….
Bondra Will Be Watching
It isn't often that Peter Bondra speaks about hockey, but he usually has something interesting to say when he does. Tom Gulitti of NHL.com spent some time talking hockey with Bondra recently , and that interview went live today on the NHL's website. The majority of that conversation was about Slovakia and the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics, and Bondra, who is not involved with the Slovakian national team, gave his thoughts on his country's chances at the February tournament. For a guy who sk...

The Oilers Need More Contributors
Hockey is the ultimate team game. Your star players should lead the charge, and when they do, it is easier for depth guys, but there have to be games where the depth guys contribute In November, the Edmonton Oilers’ depth players have been nonexistent. Frankly, they’ve been awful. In October, the Oilers’ depth forwards chipped…
