The Edmonton Oilers are recalling two of the American Hockey League’s hottest scorers. Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson were recalled to the Oilers roster Friday, the club announced. For Howard, it marks his first recall since he was sent down to the Bakersfield Condors in mid-November. The #Oilers have recalled forwards Isaac Howard & Quinn…

It seems like the Edmonton Oilers’ top-six is about to be cemented. After Wednesday’s 6-2 defeat to the Boston Bruins, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch addressed the media in his post-game presser. When asked if Jack Roslovic was more dangerous in a top six role on the wing, Knoblauch had this to say: “Yeah, it…

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns to open 2026 with some intense hockey discussion tonight! While the World Junior Championship continues, our two hosts don't make one mention of it tonight as they opt to focus on other stories that make for lively discussion. You may be thinking, "What else could they be discussing?" which is why you should be tuning in to hear the show. We have lots to go over from the hockey world, so kick back, s...
With Tristan Jarry not expected to return to the Edmonton Oilers crease any sooner than mid-January, goaltending decisions will be made on a “game-by-game” basis, head coach Kris Knoblauch said. Connor Ingram had a poor showing for the first time since his recall, allowing six goals on 29 shots against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday,…
The greatness that is Connor McDavid continues. On Thursday, the NHL released its Three Stars for the Month of December. Along with excellent performances from Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon and San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini, the man who stood above the rest was Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who was named the First…

2025 is coming to a close today, and there have been lots of news stories and analyses done on players and leagues by a myriad of people this year. I want to end this year with two simple messages for the readers of this blog. There's nothing introspective nor profound about these two messages, but I think there's a significant shift that needs to happen when it comes to hockey. I say that because no matter what article from what year I read on this blog, the changes needed to make hockey bett...
Whether you were at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Bruins, out and about, or home with your friends, family, or animals, I hope that whatever you did to ring in the new year was filled with happiness, friendship, and time spent doing whatever you wanted. I also hope that whatever you got up to…
The entire saga surrounding former hockey player Ben Johnson seems to have come to its predictable conclusion today after the ECHL's Allen Americans released him from the contract he signed yesterday. Thanks to the intense swell of public backlash, the Americans seem to have reconsidered their statements on "second chances" for Johnson who is a convicted rapist that spent time in jail in Canada for his crimes as he's one again a free agent. I have taken great care on this blog to explain why s...
The Oilers didn’t exactly bring their A-game on Monday night in Winnipeg, despite Calvin Pickard stealing a 3-1 win, and it would take a much stronger effort than that to beat the Bruins. Sure, Boston rolled into Rogers Place riding a six-game losing streak, but that certainly didn’t mean Edmonton would be able to take…
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
So long, 2025. It was a long, difficult year, and that’s something the Edmonton Oilers can surely attest to after a second straight Stanley Cup Final loss. They close out the calendar year with a middling 46-32-8 record for a .581 points percentage — the 14th best mark in the league. They closed out last…

Recap of the game.
The Edmonton Oilers have played the most road games in the NHL through 40 games, with 16 at home and 24 on the road. That is the largest split differential in the NHL, but that will change starting tonight. Edmonton plays 12 of their next 16 games at home, and by the end of January,…

It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all.
