Déjà vu all over again. Just a week ago, the Edmonton Oilers gave the Nashville Predators a home beatdown in a 6-2 victory.

Last week, I outlined the different factors that will impact the Edmonton Oilers as we creep closer and closer to the NHL’s trade deadline. Edmonton’s cap space is limited, and they don’t have a lot of premium assets to spend. Because of that, it seems unlikely that they’ll be able to make more than one…

The Oilers got back in the win column on Monday night with a 4-1 victory over the Blackhawks, shaking off Saturday’s frustrating loss to the Kings. That’s not to say that getting the win in Chicago was smooth sailing for 60 minutes, but it was the kind of response you want to see after letting…

Patrick Kane's own goal was credited to Oilers forward Boyd Gordon. Redemption

Right when we were all excited for a Connor vs Connor matchup and seeing the Blackhawks at full strength with Bedard back in the lineup… it was Bedard who got sick and was not in the lineup. Spencer Knight was really good, and the skaters in front of him were also very active with their sticks. Unfortunately, it was a shot that hit a body that got Edmonton on the board first almost 15 minutes into the contest. Zach Hyman was credited with the goal. Evan Bouchard banked a shot into the net...

The Edmonton Oilers have seen enough of top prospect Quinn Hutson this season to know they want to keep him around for a few years.

The Edmonton Oilers have won three of seven games since the Christmas break. While they have been playing better as of late, they are still struggling to find consistency on a night-to-night basis.

The Edmonton Oilers head to Chicago tonight to face a Blackhawks team that’s been through absolute chaos recently. An illness bug ripped through the roster, taking out five starters at one point. They had to call up multiple AHL players just to ice a lineup, including an emergency goalie. It was a mess. But here’s…

The Blackhawks look to continue their strong start to 2026 when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at the United Center. When these two teams met in Edmonton back on Nov. 1, the Oilers were still in their typical early-season malaise, owning just a 5-4-3 record before beating the Hawks 3-2 in overtime . But Edmonton hit the gas around Thanksgiving, going 11-5-1 in late November and most of December to surge from outside of the playoff picture to second place in the Pacific Divi...

A 4-3 shootout defeat to the Los Angeles Kings stings, but the Vasily Podkolzin–Leon Draisaitl–Kasperi Kapanen line was a silver lining for the Edmonton Oilers, keeping their hot streak alive by combining for two goals in the game. Kapanen returned to the lineup three games ago, joining Podkolzin and Draisaitl on the second line, and…

Jake DeBrusk's disappointing season has landed him on the rumor mill of late. He was a healthy scratch for the Vancouver Canucks in late December. And while things have turned around a bit for him since then, the same can't be said for the team, however. DeBrusk has three goals and five points in the last five games, but the Canucks' losing streak was extended to six games over the weekend with a dreadful 5-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs , and they are now dead last in the NHL. ...

Welcome to the Game Day Thread for the games in the week of 1/12. The Predators did not win the week last week, though they certainly could have.

I, for one, am finding the humour in the Edmonton Oilers‘ inability to string together three wins. Oh, the Los Angeles Kings, one of your biggest rivals, are in town after losing to Winnipeg just 24 hours before? Whack. Big divisional game to keep pace? A jazzed-up building celebrating the Great and Powerful Leon Draisaitl…
