Latest news and updates about the Oilers
Connor McDavid briefly took part in Edmonton Oilers practice on Monday, but left the ice after a few minutes. No need to hold your breath, though. It was largely a maintenance day for the captain, but he still wanted to touch the ice. McDavid said it was “Just hips and groin stuff. It’s all good.” …
Through 71 games, the Edmonton Oilers haven’t found much consistency. They’ve won three games in a row once, and they’ve yet to win four. Last season, they had nine winning streaks of three or more games, winning 3, 3, 5, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3 and 3. Winning often keeps morale high and frustration low,…
For the fourth year in a row, the Edmonton Oilers’ top defensive pair, featuring Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard, has been a dominant force. Since the Olympic break, the Oilers are plus-six in goals and plus-17 in shots when at least one of them is on the ice at five-on-five. They’ve even outscored the opposition…
It’s never a dull moment in Oil Country with the Edmonton Oilers. After Saturday night’s loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, the spotlight was on Connor McDavid, praising how well-coached the Lightning are, subtly turning attention toward his own coach — this while Leon Draisaitl is in Germany receiving treatment, with Oilers fans crossing their…

The Edmonton Oilers announced last week that superstar Leon Draisaitl would miss the rest of the regular season with his lower-body injury . That insinuates that he would be back for the playoffs. But fans in Edmonton are panicking a bit after hearing an interview that Draisaitl did over in his homeland, where he's gone for treatment. 🚨 Sky exclusive: Leon #Draisaitl is currently in Munich receiving treatment for his injury from well known sports doctor Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt. Speaking to ...
It seems like the Edmonton Oilers will be without Trent Frederic for an unknown amount of time. If you told me that earlier this season, I wouldn’t have been too bothered, given his lack of production and the team being shelled when he was on the ice. But the thing is, since the calendar flipped,…
It was the Nikita Kucherov show in Edmonton on Saturday night, as the Russian star led the Lightning to a 5-2 win over the Oilers with two goals and two assists. Kucherov leapfrogged Connor McDavid into the league lead in scoring with the four-point performance. He now sits two points clear of Edmonton’s captain in…
I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that the Oilers were far from their best with the Panthers in town on Thursday. Despite being built up as a Stanley Cup rematch, Edmonton was mightily outworked by a shorthanded Florida club that wound up controlling the night from start to finish. Sunday’s…
In a game between the NHL’s two top scorers, it was Nikita Kucherov emerging on top as he outdueled Connor McDavid in the Lightning’s 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Kucherov scored twice, including his first career short-handed goal, and added two assists while McDavid had Edmonton’s first goal of the game. With the four points, Kucherov moved ahead of McDavid in the scoring race. Anthony Cirelli, who missed most of the second half of the game following a second-period fight with Vasil...
For the second consecutive game, the Edmonton Oilers were outclassed by a team based in Florida. After falling 4-0 on Thursday to the Florida Panthers, the Oilers fell 5-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday in what was a chippy game. Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. In the final…
The Edmonton Oilers are back at it in the late slot on Hockey Night in Canada for the last night of their homestand, and while a 2-1 run through the first three games is fine in the bigger picture, every point you miss gets bigger with only 12 games left to play. If the boys…
Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl is in Germany receiving treatment for a lower-body injury, and is hopeful to return to the lineup “soon.” In an interview with Sky News’ Michael Leopold, Draisaitl revealed he will remain in Munich until next Tuesday. When asked if he’ll be ready to return to the Oilers’ lineup in time for…
Noise about the Edmonton Oilers’ Thursday loss to the Florida Panthers has been loud. It was nothing short of a pitiful performance, as the Oilers were outworked in every element by a team a dozen points out of a playoff spot, never mind the fact that Florida beat the Oilers in two straight Stanley Cup…
The Edmonton Oilers lost no ground amongst their closest divisional rivals after a disappointing 4-0 shutout loss to the Florida Panthers — that’s the good news. Now, a stately storm led by Nikita Kucherov comes to town. The lack of emotional engagement in the game left many fans feeling cold exiting Rogers Place, a championship…

The Edmonton Oilers faced their first taste of adversity without Leon Draisaitl in the lineup, coming out flat last game and falling 4-0 to their arch-nemesis, the Florida Panthers.

He might not have been having the type of season that the Edmonton Oilers envisioned when they handed him an inexplicable eight-year extension last summer, but Trent Frederic's physicality will still be missed in the lineup. It's been revealed that he is out with an injury with no timeline currently for a return. From @EdmontonOilers Kris Knoblauch on Trent Frederic "Trent is out with an injury and I dont have a timeline." — Gene Principe (@GenePrincipe) March 20, 2026 Head coach Kris Kn...
The Edmonton Oilers delivered a mixed bag injury update on Friday, as the team continues to lose bodies down the stretch drive of the regular season. Trent Frederic did not return in the third period against the Florida Panthers, an eventual 4-0 loss. On his last shift of the second period, Frederic fell while on…
The Edmonton Oilers find themselves in an interesting spot with roughly one month remaining in the NHL season. Even after a disappointing loss to the Florida Panthers, they find themselves just one point back of the Anaheim Ducks for the top spot in the division, and even though the Ducks have two games in hand…
I’ll defer to Paul Maurice, who’s approaching 2,000 games coached in the National Hockey League. He said this after his Florida Panthers, who jumped to 14th in the Eastern Conference, beat the Edmonton Oilers in a Stanley Cup Final rematch (part deux) 4-0 on Thursday night. “Finding that juice in the regular season is a…
The Florida Panthers treated Thursday’s Stanley Cup Final rematch in Edmonton like it meant something. The Oilers did not. The result? A decisive 4-0 road victory for the back-to-back champions. There won’t be any rings handed out for this game and there isn’t going to be a parade when the Panthers arrive back in South…
