The Oilers put themselves in a difficult spot Friday night, falling 7-4 to the Ducks in Anaheim as the series shifted in the home team’s favour.

The Oilers deserved to lose, a Connor Ingram conversation, and a tiny power play silver lining
After a sloppy, messy loss on Wednesday night, the Edmonton Oilers made their way down to Anaheim for their first of two games at the Honda Center. And with the Ducks feeling pretty good about the way things went for them two nights before, it was going to take a much better effort from the…

Moose survive do-or-die Game 2 with late winner, push series with Admirals to deciding Game 3
Recap of the second game of the playoffs.
It's An IHL Night!
I had a number of errands I needed to get done tonight, so my ability to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs was interrupted by life. As much as I try to prevent this from happening, life occasionally gets in the way and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Being that I was running around tonight, I put the car stereo to good use by tuning into Game Two of the AHL Calder Cup series between the Milwaukee Admirals and the Manitoba Moose, but I also used Bluetooth to listen to Game One of the ECHL Kell...

Oilers special teams concerns mimic those from 2025 series against Kings
The Edmonton Oilers have split the first two games with the Anaheim Ducks to begin the 2026 playoffs. It’s safe to say that they haven’t been at their best. Connor McDavid has played the worst games we’ve seen in a long time, while both Jason Dickinson and Adam Henrique missed Game 2. The Oilers’ five-on-five…
Oilers games could start later next season with no Daylight Savings Time change
Edmonton Oilers fans could be staying up a little later next season to watch some hockey games. The Alberta government is tabling a bill that would stop changing clocks twice a year and remain on permanent daylight saving time year-round. No setting clocks back an hour in November, or spring ahead in March. Sunrise begins…
Could former Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft be playing a part in Ducks’ suppression of McDavid?
Through two playoff games this year, Connor McDavid has yet to register a point. So how have the Anaheim Ducks been so successful at keeping the Edmonton Oilers captain off the scoresheet so far? That question was top of mind on Friday afternoon’s edition of The Sheet with Jeff Marek. From Marek’s point of view,…
GDB +3.0: Oilers special teams need to contribute (8 pm MT, CBC)

Scenes from Morning Skate: Nugent-Hopkins returns to first line as Oilers look to get stars on track in Game 3
There’s a good news, bad news way to look at the first two games of the Edmonton Oilers’ first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks. The bad news is that the Oilers have split the start of the series, and their star players haven’t been their star players. The good news is that the Oilers have…
Stay calm Edmonton, it’s only Game 3
There’s no linear path to winning the Stanley Cup. Losses are inevitable, meaning that, from time to time, your team won’t have a good performance. If you’ve experienced an Edmonton Oilers playoff run before, you’ll know all about this. They were 2-0 down to L.A. last year, 3-2 down to Vancouver the year before, and…
Pre-Scout: Oilers look for mature ‘special’ team in Game 3
Few teams can withstand their best players underperforming and win playoff games. In that sense, the Edmonton Oilers being tied 1-1 with the Anaheim Ducks isn’t so bad. It’s a good wager that Connor McDavid, shutout in back-to-back games, and uncharacteristically poor with puck decision and execution, will turn it around. His ankle is fine,…

MLB's new ABS replay system is an apparent success. Could the NHL learn from it?
Here’s a sentence you’ve never seen me write before: Replay review is good. It works. It’s doing what it’s supposed to do. I’m glad it’s there, because it’s making the game better. Just not in the NHL. >> Read the full post at The Athletic
