Oilers injury update: Lazar out a month, Walman benched, and Janmark’s injury has history
The Edmonton Oilers got good injury news about Jake Walman and not-so-good news about Curtis Lazar on Tuesday. Knoblauch gave updates on injuries after Wednesday’s optional morning skate. Many of the team’s top players didn’t participate, with the Oilers’ next game not until Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Curtis Lazar will be out at least…
Meet the Sellers: From cup champs to potentially missing playoffs, Florida Panthers could be open for business
It doesn’t look like the Florida Panthers are going to make the playoffs. After winning back-to-back Stanley Cups and making the finals in three consecutive seasons, Aleksander Barkov’s injury appears to be too much for them to overcome. Two days before March 6th’s trade deadline, the Panthers have a 30-28-3 record for 63 points. Right…

A closer look at the Oilers’ newest defenceman, Connor Murphy, his PK work who he should play with
The Edmonton Oilers know how to put the puck in the back of the net, having scored 22 goals over their last four games.

The Day After 62.0: Oilers overcome shaky start to beat Senators in overtime
Though it wasn’t what anyone would call a complete performance, the Edmonton Oilers picked up two points in their first home game following the Olympic break on Tuesday, coming from behind to beat the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in overtime.

Oilers win despite another rough start, a goalie conversation, and Leon Draisaitl’s goal heater
After a laundry list of mistakes led to a disappointing loss at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks, the Oilers were back on home ice to square off against the Ottawa Senators for the series finale.

Should this team make a big deadline deal? (Spoiler: Yes, but they probably won't)
It’s trade deadline week. Should your favorite team do something big? Yes. Will they? Probably not. That’s life in the NHL, a results-oriented league where the outcome is all that matters unless you’re a GM, in which case you’re allowed to mumble about your job being hard and everyone is supposed to feel sorry for you. These guys have only had four months to figure this stuff out since the season started, including two weeks off during the Olympics. Be reasonable. Or don’t. Today, we’re going ...

Commentary: Charting the Hobey Race
This year's Hobey Baker Award race is fairly wide open, or at least more open than other recent years have been.That's because you have a top-end forward (Max Plante), a top-end defenseman (Eric Pohlkamp) and a top-end goalie (Trey Augustine). Plus others of their ilk right behind them. Then you have the actual leading point scorer (Ethan Wyttenbach) and the actual leading goal scorer (Hayden Stavroff...

Recap of the game.
The Best There Ever Was
There are certain constants in this world that seemingly never change. Constants can be from a mathematical point of view where values like the force of gravity and the relationship of a circle's circumference to its diameter never change. We can talk about landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty whose constant presence allow people to instantly think of Paris and New York City, respectively. We had one of those constants in Canada West women's hockey, so it may take some tim...

Pre-Scout: Oilers host Sens team with rejuvenated Ullmark and Tkachuk under siege
With as boisterous a personality as Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk has, the grand irony of his Team USA gold medal at the Olympics turning into a media interrogation upon his return to Canada’s capital dominated headlines around the team last week. Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson won gold, of course, over the likes of Connor…

Which forwards could Stan Bowman target as his next move?
With deadline week officially upon us in the NHL, Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman wasted little time getting into the spirit of the week as he acquired veteran right-shot defenceman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks.
