Digging into why Edmonton’s offence has been underwhelming at even strength
At the 20-game mark of the 2025-26 NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers have a record of 9-7-4. Overall, it is well below the expectations for this team. On the one hand, underwhelming starts are far from a new phenomenon for Edmonton. After all, they had a horrific record of 2-9-1 to start 2023-24, just two…
Oilers pull off the rope-a-dope, Zach Hyman human wrecking ball, and a big night for Stuart Skinner
The Oilers rolled into Carolina on Saturday looking for a response after a sloppy loss in Columbus, and the big question I had was whether they could take advantage of a Hurricanes team playing the second half of a back-to-back. This was a test of urgency as much as execution against a very detailed hockey…
The Day After 20.0: Bend, don’t break as Hyman’s return lifts Oilers over Hurricanes
Stops in Raleigh are never easy. For many Edmonton Oilers fans, it invokes unpleasant memories from the 2006 Stanley Cup Final. And while that may be almost 20 years in the past, recent trips to visit the Carolina Hurricanes haven’t always been fun. In the Connor McDavid era, the Oilers had gone 3-6 in their…

That could be a staple win. On Saturday evening, the Edmonton Oilers made their third of seven stops on the Eastern Conference road trip, this time defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in overtime.

Oilers’ Brett Kulak set to play 600th NHL game
When the Oilers hit the ice tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes, Brett Kulak will officially be suited up for his 600th NHL game. Not bad for an Edmonton kid who had to scratch and claw his way into the league the long way. Nothing has ever been handed to Kulak, and getting to 600 NHL…
Maple Leafs claim defenceman Troy Stecher from Oilers
The Toronto Maple Leafs have claimed Edmonton Oilers defenceman Troy Stecher off waivers. The Oilers placed the 31-year-old on waivers Friday, also assigning Isaac Howard to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors, with Zach Hyman returning from the Long-Term Injured Reserve. Stecher was acquired by the Oilers in March 2024 at the NHL trade deadline from the…
Is This Child Abuse?
You may not recognize the rather elaborate logo to the left, and that's ok because it comes from a league to which most people never pay attention. The team that wears that logo is CH Tartalo Gasteiz who play in Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain in the Liga Iberdrola de Hockey Hielo . They're a relatively new team to the league as they just began play this season, and it's painfully obvious that they may need some help as they look to build the new Spanish women's team. Today's article might be an exam...
Friday Night In A Bookstore
I'm far from being Ben Stiller in any aspect of my life, so the title of this article might be a little misleading if you were thinking I did some sort of variation on A Night at the Museum . I assure you I wasn't locked in a bookstore nor was I interacting with various displays, but I did spend a few hours at a bookstore this evening listening to the man pictured to the left as TSN's James Duthie is in town for the CFL's Grey Cup festivities! James was at the McNally Robinson location in Gran...

After another mistake-laden outing cost the Oilers a third straight win on Thursday in Columbus, the boys are back in Raleigh to face off against the Carolina Hurricanes. This isn’t one of those games where Edmonton can get away with half efforts and lacklustre execution. This is one of those games where the Oilers will…

Pre-Scout: Hurricanes hoping to breeze past Oilers after Friday’s overtime victory
Fall turns into winter, Jack Michaels delivers an electric game call, and taxes are due at the end of April. Oh yeah, add the Carolina Hurricanes having a good regular season to that list of certainties. Put aside the playoff foibles of the ‘Canes — this is one of the best regular season teams for…

Looking at how Oilers can deploy forward lines with Zach Hyman back
It looks as if Zach Hyman will make his 2025-26 debut with the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. Hyman hasn’t played since Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars. In the first period of that game, he had a collision with Mason Marchment, now of the Seattle Kraken. He didn’t return and…

Top 100 Oilers: No. 64 — Tom Gilbert
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Tom Gilbert comes in at No. 64 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 72 on Brownlee’s original list. The Oilers didn’t draft Tom Gilbert, but he spent the bulk of…
Why Matt Savoie should stay on Connor McDavid’s wing
Kris Knoblauch has been bringing Savoie along gradually in his first NHL season, deploying him in a bottom-six penalty-killing role, but that’s starting to change. After a gradual improvement in his underlying numbers and flashes of high-end skill in limited minutes, the 21-year-old finally earned a chance to play with McDavid this week. He responded…
