On Monday morning, the Edmonton Oilers called up Josh Samanski. Signed in April 2025, the German centre, who will represent his country in the Olympics, has gone on to become a vital piece for the American Hockey League’s Bakersfield Condors, scoring seven goals and 28 points in 39 games, while providing strong two-way play. He,…
If the NHL season were to end today, Monday night’s matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks would have been a first-round preview. Of course, much can and surely will change between late January and the start of the playoffs in April, but for now, the Oilers sit second in the Pacific Division while…
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
After what was one of the wilder Oilers comeback wins you’ll ever see on Saturday against the Capitals, the boys were back at it against the red-hot Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks had won seven straight games ahead of Monday’s matchup in Edmonton, and it took two new NHL records by the Oilers’ defence to get…

For Luca Di Pasquo, the decision didn’t come lightly...
It's been five seasons since St. Thomas took its unprecedented jump from Division III to Division I...
It wasn’t pretty, but the Edmonton Oilers won back-to-back games. On Monday evening, the Oilers hosted the Anaheim Ducks for the fifth game of their eight-game home stand. Like Saturday, it was another high-scoring game, as the Oilers defeated the Ducks 7-4 in thanks to Mattias Ekholm’s hat trick. Let’s take a look at what…
Every franchise has one player that embodies everything the team represents and is synonymous with its name.
If you haven't been keeping up with the Federal Prospects Hockey League, that's probably because you live nowhere near one of their member teams. There was a completely moronic signing that happened today by the Baton Rouge Zydeco that involved a player who should never play professional hockey again , but we're going to focus on a better story from the FPHL that doesn't involve convicted criminals. Instead, the image to the left is likely what you'll see on the shoulders of the jerseys for th...
Twenty years ago, on this day in Edmonton Oilers history, the team made two big trades to help bolster the blueline ahead of what would become the Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup final. On January 26, 2006, general manager Kevin Lowe pulled the trigger on acquiring Jaroslav Spacek from the Chicago Blackhawks for the…
I watched a total of zero minutes of action from Canada West this weekend given that I was watching tomorrow's stars all weekend at the 2026 Female World Sport School Challenge , so don't expect a lot of breakdown or analysis this week. I'm cold, I'm tired, my voice is hoarse from broadcasting, and I need some serious sleep. The good news is the hockey I got to watch was pretty incredible, and there should be some Canada West teams who are very excited to have their signed players joining thei...
Fifteen of the Edmonton Oilers’ final 29 games are against Pacific Division opponents. The Oilers are in a battle for first place with Vegas, but Anaheim is suddenly right behind the Oilers after winning seven consecutive games, so home ice for the 2-3 matchup will also be settled down the stretch. Edmonton is 6-2-3 against…
Edmonton Oilers prospect Josh Samanski is set to make his NHL debut tonight against the Anaheim Ducks, and if you’ve been following the Bakersfield Condors all season, you knew this was coming. The 24-year-old has been progressing in the AHL — 7 goals, 21 assists, 28 points and very little ice time on the power…
With the way Connor McDavid’s teammates are playing — Zach Hyman, who’s been sizzling for the Edmonton Oilers for almost two months and connected with McDavid for the game-tying goal against the Washington Capitals, and Evan Bouchard, who recorded a six-point night against them — the topic on everyone’s mind just got even bigger: leaving…
"I don't see anybody coming before the break" was the comment from the bench boss on his trio of injured defencemen.
There is no NHL team that streaks harder than the Anaheim Ducks. You’d think it was an Old School casting call. For a fourth straight time, the Edmonton Oilers play a team that defeated the Calgary Flames just 24 hours before, who won 4-3 in overtime in a game they never led. At one point in…
The Edmonton Oilers have recalled prospect Josh Samanski from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors, the club announced Tuesday. They also made the coinciding move of assigning winger Isaac Howard to the Condors. The #Oilers have recalled forward Josh Samanski from the @Condors & loaned forward Isaac Howard to Bakersfield. pic.twitter.com/nm0A2bsPD5 — Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) January 26,…
Team practiced before heading on the road for four games.
After spending the weekend with the Moose he’s back up with the Jets for their upcoming road trip.
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the Oilers’ goaltending rotation, NHL stars getting younger, Andrew Mangiapane trade returns, and more. If you’ve…
The eyes of the hockey world were on Toronto this weekend. That’s not unusual, because it's the home of the league’s most important team and whenever they’re not on screen, all the other teams should be asking “Where are the Maple Leafs?” But this time, there were a few specific reasons. The first was Mitch Marner, finally returning to Toronto for the first time since his summer departure to Last Vegas. On Sunday, it was a rare afternoon game, this one featuring a visit from the league’s...
A daily roundup of Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
Wow. That’s the type of Edmonton Oilers game that gets the juices flowing. It was an Aspirin game for the producers – hopefully keeping a couple tablets handy just in case Jack Michaels spontaneously combusts mid-play. Before the majesty of Zach Hyman’s late equalizer and Connor McDavid’s overtime heroics in a 6-5 overtime victory, there…
Recap of the game.
