The Winnipeg Jets have picked up points in 2 straight contests, which is something the NHL franchise hasn’t done since mid-November. With a 4-5-1 record over their last 10 games, the True Northers have been struggling with consistency and that has head coach Scott Arniel often shuffling the forwards lines in search of offense. Tonight’s opponent for Winnipeg has also been having difficulties as of late, with the Edmonton Oilers sporting the same 4-5-1 record in the past 10…but scoring goals is...

The noise around the Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending has quieted down in the last week, as since the team’s 8-3 blowout loss to the Dallas Stars, things have improved. It’s just a three-game stretch, mind you, but the Oilers have gone 2-1 with a pair of wins over the Kraken, in which Edmonton outscored them 13-4,…

November was not so kind to the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets were 31st in points percentage in November at .385 per cent a far cry from being 6th in that same category in October. That’s the type of run that gets you in the basement of the league and a lottery pick. However, seeing the…

Keep an eye on the Detroit Red Wings and Edmonton Oilers, as there's growing speculation the two teams could be doing some business together. A few different reports have surfaced stating the Oilers may be interested in taking John Gibson off the Red Wings hands, only months after GM Steve Yzerman acquired the veteran goaltender from the Anaheim Ducks. A big reason is because the Red Wings have been getting solid goaltending from Cam Talbot, and they have one of the best goaltending prospects ...

This edition of Flashback Friday looks at the Kevin McClelland trade, which celebrates its 42nd anniversary on Friday.

Three goals in each period. Four goals at 5×5. Four power play goals. One shorthanded goal. Six different goal scorers. Nine goals in a game for only the third time in the last 20 seasons, and the Edmonton Oilers had a lot of smiles after their 9-4 victory over the Seattle Kraken last night. The…

The Edmonton Oilers ' clear weakness is in net. This is a Stanley Cup caliber team with possibly the worst goaltending duo in the league. Something has to change and it is likely going to. While they don't want to make a lateral move, any move to move on from Calvin Pickard is an upgrade. Stuart Skinner, the Oilers' starter, has actually been solid the last few games. Giving him a partner who can compete for starts with him is the best option if it's affordable. Elliotte Freidman said, "There'...

The Edmonton Oilers needed that. They really needed that. About everything that could’ve gone their way Thursday night did in their 9-4 walloping of the Seattle Kraken, as Connor McDavid notched his 13th career hat trick, four players posted three or more points, and many a milestone was hit. For McDavid, he’s faced some criticism all…

We didn’t have to wait long for the Oilers and Kraken to square off again after what was a spicy afternoon in Seattle on Saturday. That game started to boil over a little bit, and it was nice to see two Pacific Division teams getting fired up and getting after it. Ultimately, the better team…

The Edmonton Oilers are living in the rumor mill again, and for once it's not just about goaltending. Under the weight of a massive 8-year, 74 million dollar contract and a rough start that has him at 10 points and a minus-10 in 27 games, Darnell Nurse has become the lightning rod for a frustrated fan base. Social media is loaded with calls to trade him and cap-floor math that ships his 9.25 million dollar hit out in any big goalie deal. Talk-radio fuel like Doug MacLean’s fa...

Good news Oilersnation: The Edmonton Oilers have played quite well in four of their last five games. Bad news: They only have two wins in those five games. The Oilers need to string together some wins, and Seattle is a team they need to beat. Their last five games saw them lose 2-1 in OT…

While Jesper Wallstedt got his flowers for shutting out the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, it's hard to argue that the difference for the Minnesota Wild wasn't Jonas Brodin. The shutdown defenseman is notorious in Alberta for coming the closest to anyone in the NHL to putting a lid on Connor McDa...

Calvin Pickard is starting on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, and it’s about time. Not because Stuart Skinner has been bad—he hasn’t. That shutout against Seattle five days ago was his best performance of the season. He was solid against Minnesota. And he’s been giving the Oilers a chance to win lately, which is exactly…

Things have been quiet in Kraken land lately. It makes sense why. Seattle hasn’t played since the Oilers shut them out 4-0 on home ice on Saturday. Their power play went 0-6 on the day, and they were shut out for the second time in their last three games. That same PP is 0/14 in…
