It’s been a week of returns in the NHL. On Monday, we saw Jonathan Toews’ first game back in Chicago, returning to the city where we won three Cups as a visitor for the very first time. The fans gave him a hero’s welcome , the sort of outpouring of emotion you rarely see in the sports world. It was a collective “thank you” to a player who meant so much to a franchise and its fan base. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJQTNxj0p3o Tonight, Mitch Marner will return to Toronto, and the reception wi...
The Oilers were starting back at zero in their quest for three straight wins, and the first step to trying to make that happen would be to beat the Penguins as they roll into Edmonton on the second half of a back-to-back set. Of course, this was the same scenario the boys were in two…

The big question entering March 6th’s NHL trade deadline is what will the Edmonton Oilers do? After making consecutive Stanley Cup Finals, the Oilers are looking to get over the hump in 2026. While the team isn’t perfect, starting the season slow once again, they’ve really come into their own since the end of November….
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The storylines for this Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins game aren’t quite as juicy as the matchup in December.

A month ago, the trade market in the NHL looked very weak. The gap between a playoff spot and the bottom of the standings was so slim that it really wasn’t clear how many teams were going to become sellers ahead of the trade deadline. Over the last few weeks, that has changed. There are…
Edmonton Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard understands why he’s been relegated to third on the depth chart, but that doesn’t make it any easier, he revealed to Sportsnet’s Mark Spector on Wednesday. “It’s been tough,” said Pickard. “It’s been painful, for sure.” Despite allowing just three goals against in their last four games, the Oilers are…
