Looking at the Oilers cap situation after Pickard cleared waivers
After being placed on waivers on Sunday, Calvin Pickard cleared on Monday. The Oilers were putting off a tough decision, given that, from all accounts, Pickard appears to be a well-liked member of the dressing room. Although he’s been huge in the playoffs when the Oilers needed him to be, the 33-year-old has struggled in…

Team of the Week: Miami
After going 3-28-3 last season, the Miami RedHawks have climbed to 16-8-2 and 7-7-2 in NCHC play, and No. 19 in the NPI, following a series sweep at St. Cloud State last weekend. For a program that has spent years buried at the bottom of the standings, the turnaround under second-year head coach Anthony Noreen has been remarkable to see...

Major Losses In Stavely
I have never been to Stavely, Alberta, but the town was shaken to its core tonight upon hearing the news that three young hockey players lost their lives today following an automobile accident. The three players from the Southern Alberta Mustangs were reportedly headed to practice when their small car collided with a truck carrying gravel at an intersection just outside of town on Highway 2. This is a heartbreaking moment for the town and the team, and I can't imagine the grief that is being s...

McDavid reflects on upcoming Olympics, goal of winning Stanley Cup with Oilers: ‘It just wouldn’t be the same somewhere else’
If there was any doubt about whether Connor McDavid loves the city of Edmonton and wants to win a Stanley Cup with the Oilers, then read the man’s words for yourself.

Monday Musings: A Turtle Race in the Pacific Division, Oilers’ Defensive woes continue and more
Does anyone want to win the Pacific Division? Since the calendar turned to 2026, the race for first place in the Pacific Division has been uninspiring. Seattle has the best record in the New Year, while Edmonton and Anaheim are the only other teams to win more than half their games, and both of them…

Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard clears NHL waivers
Edmonton Oilers netminder Calvin Pickard has cleared NHL waivers, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. Pickard, 33, was placed on waivers Sunday, weeks after sliding down the Oilers goaltending depth chart from the backup to the No. 3. It came, in part, due to the emergence of Connor Ingram and his solid play when he was recalled…

The Edmonton Oilers have two games left before the Olympic break, following a rough 7-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild last Saturday. With Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Josh Samanski the only three Oilers headed to the upcoming Olympics (so far), the team should aim to finish strong this week against their Canadian rivals, the…

NHL weekend rankings: It’s not too early to imagine a dream first playoff round
We’re just hitting the two-thirds mark of the regular season. The Olympic break is days away, the trade deadline is still over a month away, and a million things can change between now and April. Is it too early to start thinking about the playoffs? Probably. But like a little kid noticing the Christmas decorations starting to go up in November, it’s OK to start looking ahead just a bit. And that feels especially true right now, when a peek at the standings hints at a first round that could be...

The Rundown - Week 14
There was a delay on this article thanks to Mother Nature interfering with the schedule set out by Canada West. Regina and Saskatchewan were forced to play the second game in their two-game set on Sunday as a winter storm swept into the rectangular province, and full credit to the two teams for not putting anyone at risk by travelling when it wasn't ideal. As such, this article was on pause when it came to being published until those teams got that final contest of the weekend in, but let's se...
Letters to the Editor: The Oilers don’t need to trade for a third-line centre because Knoblauch won’t play them
It’s time to dig into this week’s Letters to the Editor. Want to join in the fun? Details about how to reach out are at the bottom of the article. Why trade for a 3C? Seeing lots of chatter of how this team needs to get a legit third-line centre and that’ll really bring it…
Sunday Scramble: The zig-zag Oilers get blown-out and Jarry vs. Skinner debate
As soon as some of my colleagues and fellow fans uttered the phrase, “Is this the best Edmonton Oilers goaltending since…” Tristan Jarry has looked suspicious. Sorry Bordzy. We remember the Edmonton Oilers back-to-back shutouts from Jarry and Connor Ingram on January 17 and 18. In the six games since, the Oilers’ have surrendered 27…

Oilers place goaltender Calvin Pickard on NHL waivers
The Edmonton Oilers have made a decision in the goaltending department, placing netminder Calvin Pickard on NHL waivers Sunday, the club announced. Pickard, 33, found himself as the Oilers’ third-goaltender in recent weeks when Tristan Jarry returned from injury. He appeared in 16 games this season, posting a 5-6-2 record, a .871 save percentage and…
What has gone wrong with the Andrew Mangiapane experiment in Edmonton?
Multiple top-nine forwards left the Edmonton Oilers organization this past summer, with names such as Connor Brown, Corey Perry, Viktor Arvidsson, Jeff Skinner, and more. It seemed that management decided to primarily bank on internal growth to offset those departures, particularly from prospects Matthew Savoie and Isaac Howard. The Oilers added only one notable, established…
The Day After 56.0: Wild outclass Oilers and sweep season series
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the class of the Western Conference resides in the Central Division. The Minnesota Wild took care of business in Edmonton on Saturday night, handling the Oilers in a 7-3 win and completing a regular-season sweep in the process. After a tight opening frame that saw the two teams trade goals,…
Leon Draisaitl ties Mark Messier on Oilers’ all-time scorers list, mistake-filled loss to Wild, and Tristan Jarry
Was anyone else not surprised that it took an all-world comeback for the Oilers to finally win their third game in a row? This team is ridiculous, and it only made sense for them to get the monkey off their back in the most impossible way imaginable. Down three goals to winning in overtime. If…
