The Day After 77.0: Draisaitl-less Oilers will have to adjust to life without Hyman
First Leon Draisaitl. Now Zach Hyman. For the second year in a row, the Edmonton Oilers will be playing short key bodies down the stretch.

Oilers European free agent targets: Could KHL’s Vitaly Pinchuk be the Oilers middle-six scoring answer?
Would a 6-foot-3, 203-pound skilled centre catch your attention? The Edmonton Oilers have already dipped into the European market this season, signing Czech defenceman Tomáš Cibulka.

Sunday Scramble: Pacific Division tightens up as Oilers fumble chance against Golden Knights
During their five-game win streak, the Edmonton Oilers broke out of their zone cleanly and weren’t leaking chances off the rush.

The Hardest-Working Goal
As a person who follows Canada West women's hockey very closely, it's always great to see a player get rewarded for the hard work she puts in playing the game. Earning a professional contract somewhere across the planet is a big accomplishment for any player, but keeping a roster spot year after year takes dedication and hard work to continue to be an asset to a team. The player pictured with the Montreal Victoire has done that since she decided to make the jump into the professional ranks, an...
Oilers lack urgency in critical loss to Vegas, the Pacific Division standings, and Evan Bouchard for Norris
