If some accounts around the league are correct, it feels like Stuart Skinner's stay in Pittsburgh could be a short one. Skinner was acquired by the Penguins along with defenseman Brett Kulak from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Tristan Jarry. But that still leaves the Pens with four viable goaltenders in the system. Skinner, with an expiring $2.6 million cap hit, could be used by the Penguins to acquire another young asset. Insider Frank Seravalli explains , on the Panthers Insider p...

December can be a boring month in the NHL. Opening night optimism is a faded memory, the deadline is still months away, the playoff picture is jumbled, and not much is happening. And then, every once in a while, we get a day like Friday. We got one of the biggest midseason blockbusters in years, with the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota . We got the long-awaited Oilers goalie trade, with Tristan Jarry coming over from the Penguins . Oh, and before those two deals dropped, we also found out that...

After a two-game stretch where the Montreal Canadiens went 1-0-1 with rookie goaltender Jacob Fowler between the pipes, they went back to one of their regulars on Sunday night. Taking on Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers at home, Jakub Dobeš got his first start since being pulled during their blowout loss to Tampa Bay last Tuesday. The hope was that perhaps a bit of time off would give him a chance to reset and find his form from earlier in the season.
He did precisely that, looking ...

After an impressive 6-3 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Tristan Jarry’s debut on Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers put forward a listless effort on Sunday, losing 4-1 to the Montréal Canadiens. Nobody said it was easy to come out of a back-to-back on the road with four points, but this weekend perfectly summarizes what…

First period
Jakub Dobeš gets the start after a couple of games for Jacob Fowler.
It’s a rough start for referee Furman South as Mattias Ekholm fires a clearing attempt off the back of his knee. We have to hope he remembers which team did that to him.
Josh Anderson goes in on a partial breakaway, but his backhand move doesn’t fool Calvin Pickard.
Juraj Slafkovský’s tips a point shot that gives Pickard more trouble, but the goaltender still makes the save.
Well so muc...

Tristan Jarry’s first game in an Edmonton Oilers jersey was a solid yet unspectacular. He made some great stops, perhaps none better than his breakaway save on Maple Leafs forward John Tavares, but a garbage-time goal by Toronto pushed his save percentage below .900 on the night. Still, he gave the team a chance to…

Stuart Skinner being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins was a shock to the system when the news broke early Friday morning. The move came on the heels of a win over the Detroit Red Wings, a game in which Skinner posted a stellar .964 save percentage, and he had been playing solid between the pipes…

Game 32: Montreal Canadiens vs. Edmonton Oilers
Start time: 7:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM PST In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Oilers region: Sportsnet West Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+
It turns out the Montreal Canadiens can’t just abandon their defensive duties with Jacob Fowler in the net and let the rookie save them. They did well in Pittsburgh to limit the shots he faced to start his NHL career, but the New York Rangers were able to test him from close r...

After a chaotic, penalty-filled, and wildly entertaining 6-5 win back on October 23rd, the Edmonton Oilers get another crack at the Montreal Canadiens, this time with a little more confidence and a lot less panic in the air. That first meeting had everything: Blown leads, three-goal swings in a matter of minutes, angry Montreal fans,…

On Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers finally made their major goaltending move. It was a deal that sent their starting goalie in Stuart Skinner, alongside defenceman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick, to the Pittsburgh Penguins for goaltender Tristan Jarry. Fans and media alike have clamoured for the Oilers to make an upgrade in…

The Edmonton Oilers have had one glaring weakness for several seasons, and that is goaltending. The team has made back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals despite the issues in net, ranking 11th of the 16 teams in the 2025 post-season with an overall save percentage of .871. The assumption ...

The first feeling I had when I heard Stuart Skinner was traded? Relief. I’ve said this before, but part of the reason I wanted a new Oilers starting goaltender (beyond his play) is that I was sick of talking about him and sick of the discussion surrounding him. The Skinner topic became exhausting. Every game…

We can all agree with Craig Berube’s lamentation of his team’s lack of urgency to start the third period while down a goal in this game. The contest obviously ended inside the first two minutes of the final frame when the Leafs came out, played in their own end, punted pucks back to the Oilers […]

Ouch. The Montreal Canadiens looked like they were taking the dog for a walk early on against the New York Rangers. Ahead 3-0 and cruising…and then bad stuff happened. Before you knew, the Rangers were only down one at the intermission. The Habs restored the lead to 4-2 but then gagged that away, as well,…
