Pre-Scout: Oilers get a taste of playing against Darnell Nurse while finding ways to win
It’s the Sydney Sweeney of starts for the Edmonton Oilers — top-heavy through their first four games. Such is the grind, missing an entire top-six line worth of forwards. Under the circumstances, no one is turning down a 3-0-1 record, especially with Evan Bouchard setting NHL records for offensive production for a defenceman, and the…
Looking back at Darnell Nurse’s top five moments with the Oilers
Drafted seventh overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Darnell Nurse slowly ascended to being a legitimate top-pairing defenceman for the team, carrying the blue line through the COVID years after Oscar Klefbom’s career was cut short due to injury. After having an excellent shortened 2021 season that saw him finish…
Flashback Friday: Looking at the Oilers’ seven trades with the Sharks
After the Edmonton Oilers traded Spencer Stastney earlier this week, three of the seven defencemen remaining on their roster are former San Jose Sharks. Since the Sharks’ inception in 1991-92, the Sharks and Oilers have linked up for just seven trades, with those three trades for former Sharks defencemen coming in just the past two…
ONR: Tristan Jarry back between the pipes, trade rumours, and previewing the Oilers vs. Sharks
It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of in-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ California road trip, Tristan Jarry getting back in the net, the Saturday’s matchup against San Jose, line combinations, and more. We kicked off…
Are the Oilers’ early-season penalty kill struggles cause for concern?
Things didn’t look good after the first period on Wednesday night in Anaheim. The Edmonton Oilers were down 2-0 on two point-blank power-play goals from Beckett Sennecke. Despite rebounding to erase the last five power plays of the game, including a late two-man advantage that the Ducks turned into a six-on-three, the penalty kill has…
Zach Hyman returns to Oilers practice, likely out against Sharks
The reinforcements are starting to arrive. Days after the Edmonton Oilers got centre Jason Dickinson back from injury, winger Zach Hyman is nearing a return to the lineup. Banged up in the final pre-season game against the Calgary Flames on Sept. 26, Hyman drew in for Edmonton’s season opener three days later, but an upper-body…
Stuart Skinner seizing Jets’ crease as Hellebuyck drama continues
Stuart Skinner is on fire, and Winnipeg’s crowd is already chanting, “Stuu!” The former Edmonton Oilers goalie is off to a strong start and has become a fan favourite. Skinner is 2-0-1, with a 2.62 GAA and a .920 save percentage. He’s made 92 saves on 99 shots, only giving up seven goals in the…
Oilers’ Evan Bouchard is forcing the respect he deserves with his hot start
Evan Bouchard is off to the best start of his NHL career, putting up 11 points and a plus-10 rating through his first four games of the season with the Edmonton Oilers. However, a year ago, it was a completely different story for the Oilers’ blueliner. Through seven games of the 2025-26 campaign, he had…
The five best starts in Edmonton Oilers franchise history
In recent years, the Edmonton Oilers have struggled to begin seasons, which makes a 3-0-1 record in the team’s first four games a welcome start to the Mike Babcock era, especially with the injuries they’ve suffered in the early going. An entire top-six line of Matt Savoie, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Zach Hyman has missed time,…
Real Life Podcast: Player endorsements, signs at Oilers games, and youth hockey
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it’s ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On this week’s episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Oilers’ three-game winning streak, games behind a paywall, and baseball foul ball etiquette. The…
The numbers behind the Oilers’ star-fuelled strong start
The Edmonton Oilers that we’ve seen for the first four games under Mike Babcock have not been the team that we were promised we’d get under the veteran head coach. We were promised attention to detail, defensive structure, and larger roles for the depth players on this team. What we’ve gotten is a total of…
Examining Evan Bouchard’s historic hot start for the Oilers
Evan Bouchard is off to the best start of his career, and one of the greatest starts by a defenseman in NHL history. Only Harry Cameron in 1917-18 produced more goals and points through the first four games of a season. Cameron scored eight goals and 14 points in four games. He then tallied five…
Oilers Prospect Update: Asher Barnett pairs with top 2027 NHL draft prospect Landon DuPont
Welcome back, folks, to another hockey season! We are back up and running, with most teams having already played their first set of games. I have some Edmonton Oilers prospects who looked good in their opening-game film. David Lewandowski, Asher Barnett, Caden Harvey, and Andrew Robinson have all started their seasons and have looked great…
Evan Bouchard stays hot, the Oilers’ penalty kill problems, and Jason Dickinson’s first game back
After a very strong details win over Seattle on Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers hit the road for a three-game California road trip that started in Anaheim. Of course, the Ducks knocked the Oilers out of the playoffs in only six games this past spring, which made the first meeting of the season that much more…
The Day After 4.0: Levi stands tall, gives Oilers a chance in win over Ducks
It’s amazing what good goaltending can get you. Take the Edmonton Oilers’ 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night, where, in the first period, their netminder Devon Levi was shelled by the California club. He faced a staggering 16 shots, and while two of them got past him, it was the ones that…
Instant Reaction: Explosive second period pushes Oilers to 5-2 win over Ducks
There will be a Game 8. On Wednesday night, the Edmonton Oilers continued their good start to the 2026-27 season, defeating the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 in a first-round matchup from 2026. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. While the game ended well for…
Oilers place Colton Dach on injured reserve, activate Jason Dickinson
The Edmonton Oilers have made a pair of coinciding roster moves on Wednesday ahead of their game against the Anaheim Ducks. The team activated centre Jason Dickinson from injured reserve, while placing Colton Dach on it. Dickinson, 31, will make his season debut on Wednesday, having missed the pre-season and first three games of the…
GDB 4.0: Oilers need to exploit Ducks’ inexperienced blueline (8 pm MT, SNW)
The Anaheim Ducks’ current defensive corps is very different than the unit that defeated the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs last spring. John Carlsson, Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas are gone, while Ian Moore and Drew Helleson are injured. The Ducks are 2-0 to start this season while deploying the most inexperienced blueline in the…
Bowman liked Hallander’s mix of skill and pace: ‘He’s going to fit in well’
Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman said they were interested in Filip Hallander a couple years ago before they acquired the Pittsburgh Penguins forward on Wednesday morning. Bowman held a short media conference following the trade that shipped Spencer Stastney out to the Eastern Conference. It’s been no secret that there’s been a logjam of…
Getting to know new Oilers forward Filip Hallander
The Edmonton Oilers have made their first trade of the 2026-27 season. On Wednesday morning, the team traded Spencer Stastney to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward Filip Hallander. The name Hallander may be a bit out of left field, but it’s been well known for a while that the Oilers were looking to…
Pre-Scout: Oilers are California Dreamin’ of playoff payback against Ducks
Nothing builds team morale like a road trip, and this one for the Edmonton Oilers is perfect. Three games in sunny California with multiple days between each matchup? What a gift from Gary Bettman. Something tells me golf clubs are loaded onto the private jet this week. “I hear it’s warm in California,” joked coach…
Oilers acquire Filip Hallander from Penguins for Spencer Stastney
The Edmonton Oilers have acquired forward Filip Hallander from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for defenceman Spencer Stastney, the club announced Wednesday. The Oilers reportedly wanted to make a “lateral trade,” hoping to add forward depth while moving off a defenceman to ease a logjam at the position. In doing so, the Oilers bring in a 26-year-old Hallander…
Examining the Ducks’ start to the season ahead of Oilers visit to Anaheim
This week, the Edmonton Oilers begin their first extended road trip of the season, and there is no better place to begin this California trip than the Honda Center against the team that eliminated them last spring. Edmonton’s lineup, while still depleted, does appear to be getting Jason Dickinson back in Anaheim. Dickinson had a…
The Oilers aren’t an old team anymore
“The Edmonton Oilers are too old!” No, they’re not, and it’s not even close. Some people still take shots at the Oilers, saying they’re old and their window is closing. Edmonton sits in the middle of the pack in the NHL when it comes to team age. Corey Perry, Evander Kane, Calvin Pickard, Derek Ryan,…
ONR: Devon Levi shines, the Oilers head to California, and Gavin McKenna’s early struggles
It’s Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ 3-1 win over Seattle, injury updates, looked at the upcoming road trip, line combinations, and more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of…
