Losing Trent Frederic for any period of time is a bigger problem for the Oilers than meets the eye
It seems like the Edmonton Oilers will be without Trent Frederic for an unknown amount of time. If you told me that earlier this season, I wouldn’t have been too bothered, given his lack of production and the team being shelled when he was on the ice. But the thing is, since the calendar flipped,…
The Day After 71.0: Nikita Kucherov makes Hart Trophy case in commanding win over Oilers
It was the Nikita Kucherov show in Edmonton on Saturday night, as the Russian star led the Lightning to a 5-2 win over the Oilers with two goals and two assists.

Oilers lose on special teams, Josh Samanski’s first NHL goal, and Ty Emberson’s return to the lineup
I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that the Oilers were far from their best with the Panthers in town on Thursday. Despite being built up as a Stanley Cup rematch, Edmonton was mightily outworked by a shorthanded Florida club that wound up controlling the night from start to finish. Sunday’s…

It's the Depth That Does it For Denver
When Denver has won its championships in recent years, 2022, 2024, it has usually been a slow build. Fits and starts to the season, followed by things eventually clicking. The games aren't usually blowouts, but Denver finds a way.The Pioneers reached into that formula again for this NCHC Tournament. After an overtime win last weekend against Western Michigan, the Pioneers did it again in the NCHC ...
Michigan Caps Ride to Top with Big 3rd Period
It’s rare that two Cinderellas face off in a championship final. But neither team that met in Saturday’s Big Ten final was meant to be there. The Cinderella of the season — Michigan — proved that it has evolved from a fairy tale into the king of the conference, the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. And the Cinderella of this tournament — Ohio State — went home heartbroken, its carriage...
Bentley Does it Again
Bentley had a plan: get to the net consistently.After Sacred Heart’s Vitaly Levyy tied the game at one in the second period, the Pioneers found their game and tilted the ice in their favor, despite Bentley dictating play for much of the night.

'That Was Not Us': UMD Shows Its Mettle After Rough Start
Trailing 3-0 after an eyebrow-raising first 13 minutes of the first period, the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs could have perhaps easily accepted that Saturday night at Denver's Magness Arena was not going to be 'their' night.And truthfully, there would have been no shame in it. After all, to even tie the game at that point would have meant scoring at least three times against a goaltender — DU's freshman...

The Edmonton Oilers are back at it in the late slot on Hockey Night in Canada for the last night of their homestand, and while a 2-1 run through the first three games is fine in the bigger picture, every point you miss gets bigger with only 12 games left to play. If the boys…

When asked if he’ll be ready to return to the Oilers’ lineup in time for…
Oilers game notes: Will Edmonton show up against the Lightning?
