Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman started a fire storm between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Edmonton Oilers, after confirming the Oilers did indeed reach out to the Penguins regarding goaltender Tristan Jarry. While talks certainly took place, it doesn't sound like anything was accomplished, and according to reporters following the team, don't expect to see a move coming later this season. Josh Yohe of The Athletic is own of the Penguins most in-tuned beat reporters, and Rossi shed some light on wh...
The Edmonton Oilers’ search for a goaltender nearly landed them Tristan Jarry netminder. But while rumours have swirled that the deal would send Stuart Skinner the other way, that doesn’t appear to be the case. In fact, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday’s edition of the 32 Thoughts podcast that the Oilers have been looking to pair…
It’s not often that when you attend an Edmonton Oilers game, the organization does a cross-promotion with a video game. In the past, the Oilers have had advertising for the latest Call of Duty or NHL title. On Saturday night, however, it was World of Warcraft that was centre stage, with the game’s next expansion,…
There’s an argument to be made that the Edmonton Oilers should never take off their new cream-coloured alternate jerseys. They should wear them in the rink, wear them in the gym, and wear them at the grocery store. Because never mind there being something in the water in Edmonton: there’s something in those jerseys. The…
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the bottom six, Matt Savoie’s season so far, Vasily Podkolzin, and more. If you’ve got a…
That's Wild
The Minnesota Wild were on top of the world and heading into Western Canada, which features some not-so-great hockey teams. Well, after earning that feel-good 1-0 shutout win over the Edmonton Oilers, they dropped two straight to the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks, two...
It’s amazing what practice will do for a hockey team. You’d be tempted to say that practice may be overrated for a team that went to the championship twice in a row. But the Edmonton Oilers are prime evidence that sleeping in your own bed, getting into a practice routine, and playing in front of…
Fans have come to expect sleepy Octobers from the Edmonton Oilers, but this year felt different. The slump dragged on, the underlying numbers cratered, and the bottom six were getting demolished. It was a bigger mess to clean up than the PDO-driven starts that have plagued Edmonton in the past few seasons. Fortunately for the…
With the Edmonton Oilers lacking a physical presence and Noah Philp landing on the Long-Term Injured Reserve, the team called up left winger Connor Clattenberg. He was been making a name for himself in Bakersfield in his first full time rookie pro season with the Condors, playing a mere 16 AHL games prior to his…
The Oilers stomped the Kraken 9-4 on Thursday night for their first runaway offensive outing of the season, and I think we were all hopeful it was a sign the team was finally turning a corner. As annoying as October and November were to re-live for the third straight year, Edmonton is starting to look…
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Edmonton Oilers are in trade talks surrounding goaltender Tristan Jarry. And while the Oilers would love to get Jarry in their crease, it's going to be a very complicated deal to complete. Penguins' president Kyle Dubas has reportedly told the Oilers he's not interested in retaining any of Jarry's remaining salary, which for a cash-strapped Oilers' brass, is tough news to hear. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman touched on these trade talks during Saturday night's Hockey...
Have the Edmonton Oilers found their mojo? Is the early-season slump over? Have they, like in the last two years, finally started to find their game two months into the season? The latest stretch of games, punctuated by a 6-2 walloping of the Winnipeg Jets, shows that might be the case. It still might be…
Recap of the game.
That’s two in a row. On Saturday evening, the Edmonton Oilers played their third game on the five-game homestand, defeating the Winnipeg Jets 6-2. This came just two days after they smashed the Seattle Kraken 9-4. Safe to say they are officially back, so let’s take a look at what happened in this one! The…
After putting together their best offensive night on Thursday in a 9-4 win over the Kraken, the Oilers look to keep the momentum going in the third game of this five-game homestand against the Winnipeg Jets. At 12-11-5, the boys are still trying to find traction in a season that has offered almost none, but…
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 ...
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
After suffering a 9-1 loss earlier this season, the Edmonton Oilers finally got to enjoy the other side of a 9-something beatdown, defeating the Seattle Kraken 9-4 in their most recent outing. They battled their way through a tough start to the season with lengthy road trips, and now, with some time to settle in…

On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ demolition of the Seattle Kraken, line combos, some injury updates, line combos, and much more. We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR…
Early in the 1983-84 season, the Oilers acquired a player who helped them win four Stanley Cups. This edition of Flashback Friday looks at the Kevin McClelland trade, which celebrates its 42nd anniversary on Friday. On Dec. 5, 1983, the Oilers sent Tom Roulston to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 1984 sixth-round pick…
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…
