For just the second time this season, the Oilers are on a three-game winning streak. This stretch has come at an ideal time for Edmonton.

Since the Olympic break, Connor McDavid has produced at an excellent rate of 3.19 points per hour at five-on-five, which is no surprise for him. But in that same stretch, the Oilers have a second forward sitting just behind at a rate of 3.17, and it’s not Leon Draisaitl, who has been out to injury…
After a massive OT win in Vegas on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were back at Rogers Place for a little matinee action against the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks.

I want to believe the Edmonton Oilers this time. I really do. But there is a California-sized steel trap hovering above this afternoon’s matchup against the Anaheim Ducks. The Oilers close out an overtime victory against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, take all four possible points on the road this week, setting up a matchup…
With a lack of draft capital, the Edmonton Oilers are looking overseas once again. This time, they signed Czech defenceman Tomáš Cibulka to a two-year entry-level contract that starts in 2026-27. Cibulka, 21, stands six feet tall, 176 pounds, and is a left-shot defenceman who has spent the last two seasons in Czechia. Last season,…

I know we’re still a few weeks away from the playoffs starting, but it’s hard not to think that last night’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena was pretty damned close. There were fireworks. There were scrums. There was everything you’d expect from a massive game between two teams…
The Edmonton Oilers signed a European defenceman for next season on Friday morning, perhaps signalling another wave of free agent signings in early spring. The team announced they have agreed to terms with Tomáš Cibulka on a two-year entry-level contract beginning in the 2026-27 season. After playing junior hockey in Canada, he’s spent the last…

Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Mattias Ekholm comes in at No. 41 on our updated 2025 list. He wasn’t listed on Brownlee’s original list. There are two things that even Ken Holland’s biggest detractors can’t argue with:…
It started as a compliment. After Edmonton's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, Connor McDavid called Jon Cooper's team "perfectly coached," "extremely well organized," and "very rehearsed in everything they do." When asked about the Oilers by comparison, McDavid said "that's a coaching question," then added they were "somewhat rehearsed and organized, but not to their level." Whether he meant it as a shot at Kris Knoblauch or not, the hockey world ran with it, ...

The Toronto Maple Leafs would like to reshape their roster this summer, and the team's longest-serving player, Morgan Rielly, could be a casualty if they can get him to waive his no-move. He has four years remaining on his deal with a $7.5M AAV. To a certain extent, the same applies to Darnell Nurse with the Edmonton Oilers . The team is having a frustrating season, and much of the finger-pointing is at the team's blueline. Would the Oilers like to move on from the four more years of Nurse's $...
