Latest news and updates about the Oilers
Nothing has come easily for the Edmonton Oilers this season. They’ve yet to win more than two games in a row, and one could argue they struggled to play even two consecutive solid games in a row, until their last two against Seattle and Minnesota. I understand a team would rather win and play poorly…

Public enemy No. 1 from last Saturday’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Seattle Kraken won’t be in the lineup for the rematch. Kraken forward Mason Marchment found himself under the skin of the Oilers after laying a late, blindside hit on Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse late in the first period. Marchment was challenged by…

Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap to the other guy for a job well done. That seems to be the case for the Edmonton Oilers, who played a strong game on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Wild but fell 1-0 because nothing is getting past Jesper Wallstedt right now. The 20th overall pick…

The Oilers had a fantastic afternoon in Seattle on Saturday, and that 4-0 shutout was probably their most complete effort at both ends of the rink that we’ve seen in a month or more. Now that the boys have a run of home games in front of them, we were all looking for them to…

We’ve seen some rough showings at home from the Edmonton Oilers early this season. In the span of a couple of weeks, they’ve taken a 9-1 loss to Colorado and an 8-3 drubbing from Dallas. Those games are hard to watch, and they are even harder to be a part of if you are in…

That's Wild Jesper Wallstedt can do no wrong right now. Just hours after the Minnesota Wild netminder was named Rookie of the Month for November, he went ahead and earned an gutsy 1-0 shutout win over Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. There is really nothing stopping him from being a domi...

It was the most obvious shutout in NHL history. You could see it coming a mile away. Four years after the Edmonton Oilers passed on drafting him in the first round, Jesper Wallstedt made them pay, stopping all 33 shots he faced in the Minnesota Wild’s 1-0 win Tuesday night. Wallstedt was nothing short of…

The path to success isn’t smooth or without obstacles, but there is one must-have ingredient if you hope to reach your goal. “Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency.

The Edmonton Oilers host the Minnesota Wild tonight at Rogers Place, and here’s the simple truth: this is a casually quiet must-win game. Not because everything falls apart if they don’t. But because beating good teams at home is what playoff teams do. And Minnesota is playing excellent hockey right now. The Wild went 11-1-2…

A mental, emotional and physical reset seemed to help the Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton is in a stretch where they play just once in six days. They had consecutive days of practice for the first time in almost a month, and it paid off as they played their most complete game of the season en route…

He was the steal of the 2024 offseason (literally), after the St. Louis Blues pilfered Philip Broberg (and Dylan Holloway—another steal) from the Edmonton Oilers with an offer sheet. Broberg, on an expiring two-year, $9.16 million contract ($4.58M AAV), will be a restricted free agent after the season, but talks on an extension have not yet begun with the Blues. Jeremy Rutherford writes in The Athletic that Broberg has been the Blues’ MVP through the first quarter of the season. An...

The Edmonton Oilers’ Jekyll-and-Hyde season continues, from a few days of letting the 8–3 beatdown at the hands of the Dallas Stars sulk and live rent-free in fans’ minds, to putting together one of their most complete games of the season in a 4–0 win against the Seattle Kraken last Saturday. It seems the Oilers…

Stuart Skinner’s career with the Edmonton Oilers has been a roller coaster, from the soaring highs of a 16-game winning streak to the crushing lows of losing the net in the postseason.

What did we learn about the Edmonton Oilers this week? Not much. The Oilers have long been fans of the zig-zag. Think they’re turning the corner? No, no. That game against Dallas was a classic Oilers trap. Coming off an emotional win vs arch-nemesis Florida, they had one of their several letdown games this season. …

A big development on Saturday night, as Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported the Edmonton Oilers are open to making a goaltending trade, but aren't going to make a move they consider to be a 'lateral' trade. Friedman confirmed there have been talks around the league, but internally in Edmonton, the team is content with their current set up and will only make a trade if they feel it makes them significantly better. Friedman pointed out that Oilers netminder Stuart Skinner recently did an auto...

All wins don’t come equal. Some you have to fight a little bit harder for, and some just mean a little bit more. For the Edmonton Oilers, all of the above were relevant in their 4-0 drubbing of the Seattle Kraken, as they won in every which way. They dominated on the scoreboard, putting up…

Amid a week where smoke has billowed from the stove of Edmonton about a potential goaltending trade, some of that timber is being held back from further ignition. As the Oilers continue to evaluate their goaltenders — Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard — with more than a few goaltenders available on the market, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman…
