In the week that was Edmonton Oilers hockey, we saw the highs and lows that are a microcosm of the 2025-26 season.

So there is a lot of work to be done with only 17 more contests left in the regular sea...

The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-1 on their recent four-game road trip, which isn’t bad, but giving up a two-goal lead last game against the St. Louis Blues and losing in overtime certainly stung, letting a valuable point slip away.
