The Edmonton Oilers seem to be in great hands with general manager Stan Bowman as he has made almost all solid moves since joining the team. Nobody can bat 1000, but he also doesn't sit still and let things play out when there are obvious issues.

The Edmonton Oilers have been without Zach Hyman for the entire season thus far and are 5-4-3 on the season. There have already been a ton of line combinations used throughout the lineup this season. When the veteran returns, lines should stabilize a bit, but so should the power play. Surprisingly, yet unsurprisingly, the Oilers have the third-best power play in the NHL at 30.3%, despite the absence of Hyman. David Tomasek has filled in for him, and although Hyman makes more of an impact on th...

Even the Devil himself would be spooked by the way the Edmonton Oilers have been playing. As an October full of ghastly mistakes kept adding up for the Oilers, Halloween Eve saw them leave the candy bowl outside for the neighbourhood kids to pillage.

Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game. We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of…

His last time lacing up the skates came on May 27th earlier this year in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, when he was hit awkwardly by then Dallas Stars winger Mason Marchment.

The Edmonton Oilers’ performance in the first period of Tuesday’s game against the Utah Mammoth was nothing short of unacceptable, and it was made well known. “We kind of needed a bit of a wake-up in between the first and second,” said Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. “Knobber coming in, talking about…

Granted, sluggish starts in October are nothing new to the team, with the team finding ways to rally, leading to back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Final.

The start hasn’t been what anyone in Oil Country envisioned. But if there’s frustration brewing inside the Edmonton Oilers’ dressing room, Darnell Nurse isn’t showing it.
