Oilers to start Tristan Jarry in Game 4 against Ducks, Jason Dickinson returns to lineup
There’s been a shake-up in net ahead of a crucial game for the Edmonton Oilers. Ahead of Game 4 of the Pacific Division Semifinals against the Anaheim Ducks, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch revealed that goaltender Tristan Jarry will be replacing Connor Ingram as the team’s starter. Forward Jason Dickinson is set to return to…

Today In NHL History - Carcillo Fights Talbot
On April 25th in 2009, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Maxime Talbot challenged Philadelphia Flyers tough guy Daniel Carcillo to a scrap down 3-0 in the second period of Game 6 of the Conference Quarterfinals. Carcillo won the fight but Pittsburgh stole the momentum responding with five unanswered goals to win the game 5-3, clinch the series 4-2 and eventually hoist the Stanley Cup seven weeks later
Should the Oilers start Jarry over Ingram in Game 4 against Ducks?
Something needs to change for the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are down 2-1 in their series against the Anaheim Ducks. Aside from a dominant first period in Game 1, the Ducks have been the better team through the first nine periods. Their biggest area of concern has been health, as both Jason Dickinson and Adam…
GDB +4.0: When will the Oilers play the kind of hockey they keep promising us? (8PM MT, SNW)
The Edmonton Oilers are heading into Game 4 against the Anaheim Ducks, and there’s no point in sugarcoating the position they’re in. The boys are down 2-1 in the series, they’ve given away two winnable hockey games, and now they’re backed into a corner where the margin is basically zero. Lose again, and you’re staring…
Scenes from Morning Skate: Will Jason Dickinson return for Oilers in Game 4?
It’s a pivotal game for the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night, one that could determine their fate in the 2026 NHL playoffs. Win, and they retake home ice advantage over the Anaheim Ducks. Lose, and they face a 3-1 series deficit that would force a do-or-die Game 5 in Edmonton on Tuesday. After mounting a…
Sunday Scramble: Oilers-Ducks paths to victory check-in, Stanley Cup playoffs siding with youth so far
Last Sunday, I laid out my paths to victory for the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks. A quick peek at those factors through three games… Edmonton: Better defensive team since the Olympics Reliable structure Break the forecheck Centre ice depth Team experience Oh boy… How about for the Ducks? Anaheim: Dostal cementing himself Ducks flip…
Oilers assistant GM Bill Scott to interview for vacant Canucks GM role
Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott is a busy man these days. As the Oilers battle with the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the 2026 playoffs, Scott is now set to interview with a second team for a vacant general manager’s seat. His first came in late March with the Nashville Predators,…
A closer look into Edmonton’s defensive issues to begin the 2026 Playoffs
Through the first three games of their first-round matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, the Edmonton Oilers have scored 12 goals, averaging exactly four goals per game. If you consider the fact that Connor McDavid has been far from his best, producing only two points thus far, this is a rather encouraging fact for the Oilers….
Manitoba Moose pre-game 3 (round 1) report vs Milwaukee Admirals
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Pre-Scout: Pressure mounts on Oilers, so close, yet so far heading into Game 4
The tone in Kris Knoblauch’s voice signals to me he’s toying with the idea. When questioned after Edmonton Oilers practice, he sounded like he’s leaning toward the decision, but won’t say it yet. If he had a dog to walk around his hotel, he’d do the Don Cherry trick and ask Blue who he should…
Swept You Like A Hurricane
It was pretty clear from Game One last Saturday that these Carolina Hurricanes were not going to be denied. They may still lose in these Stanley Cup Playoffs, but the Ottawa Senators were not going to be the team to end the Hurricanes' dream of a Stanley Cup parade this season. Despite the heroics shown by goaltender Linus Ullmark, the depth of the Hurricanes showed in each game as they got contributions up and down the lineup that the Senators simply could not match. Mix in an ineffective pow...

Oilers need to fix these tactics to be successful against Ducks in Game 4
When I turn on an analytical coach’s mind to deconstruct the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs, something truly weird happens. Time slows down, but it also speeds up. Time has no meaning. We’re all just bags of meat. What I think I mean is that chunks of the game blend together. Every moment has meaning,…
Four Oilers riding momentum into Game 4, and four who need to step up
The highs and lows of Edmonton Oilers playoff hockey are an experience like no other, and Game 3 was a great example of it. The Oilers were outplayed, then took the lead, were outplayed again, and took another lead, only to fall to the Anaheim Ducks 7-4, with the Ducks now holding a 2-1 series…
‘The core group… is exhausted’: Oilers fans react to Game 3 loss to Ducks
Based on the reaction online on Friday night, you’d think the Edmonton Oilers were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. It may not have been that bad, but they did lay quite the egg against the Anaheim Ducks, losing 7-4, and now face a 2-1 deficit in this first-round series. Throughout the game and afterward,…
‘Stuff that shouldn’t happen’: Oilers know what to fix, but regular season inconsistency prevails
Incredibly, the Edmonton Oilers led Game 3 against the Anaheim Ducks twice. For the first time in the series, they entered the third period not trailing. Despite the Oilers’ issues earlier in the game, and there were many, the result was going to be decided in the third period. And the Oilers’ puck management, an…
The Day After +3.0: Ducks score seven, earn first home playoff victory since 2017
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. Edmonton opened the scoring midway through the first period when Vasily Podkolzin found the back of the net, but the lead didn’t last long. Anaheim responded with two goals…

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…

The Edmonton Oilers are down, but not out. On Friday evening, the Oilers fell 7-4 to the Anaheim Ducks, giving the Ducks a 2-1 series lead with home-ice advantage. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. For the third consecutive game in this series, the Oilers opened the scoring. With about…
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...
NHL Notebook: No supplemental discipline for Hall after concussing hit on Sanderson, Kings down bad against Avalanche, and more
Ottawa Senators defenceman Jake Sanderson will not play in Game 4 after being sidelined by a concussion following a high hit from Carolina Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall. The hit occurred in the first few minutes of the second period of Thursday night’s Game 2 between the Hurricanes and Senators, and Hall was given a minor…
