Latest news and updates about the Oilers
Without Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on ice this season at 5-on-5, the Edmonton Oilers have been outscored 27 to 55.

The inadequate performance from their depth forwards has been…

On Saturday evening, the Edmonton Oilers play the Washington Capitals for the second time in 2025-26. The two teams don’t have a lot of overlapping history.

It may not have been their best overall performance of the season so far, but the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night is certainly high on the rankings.

The Oilers were starting back at zero in their quest for three straight wins, and the first step to trying to make that happen would be to beat the Penguins as they roll into Edmonton on the second half of a back-to-back set. Of course, this was the same scenario the boys were in two…
The Edmonton Oilers are expected to chase a top nine forward ahead of the trade deadline, and Jeff Marek just tossed a familiar, spicy name into the mix by linking them to Jonathan Toews as a potential low cost add if the Winnipeg Jets slide into seller mode. Pierre LeBrun said Edmonton left its recent meetings with a “very concrete plan” to target that kind of forward, with the internal debate being whether the best value is down the middle or on the wing. Why Jeff Marek floated Toews...
