Three takeaways from the first three games of the Oilers’ season
Three games into the season, Edmonton Oilers fans have already felt just about every emotion a person can feel. Oilers fans have felt excitement about the new season, anger over all the goals the team has surrendered, disappointment with the odd-man rushes they’ve given up, and joy that they’ve put together two wins in three games despite…

Exclusive: Oilers goaltending prospect Ryan Cameron sets sights on USHL season: ‘I want to dominate’
Through the first three Edmonton Oilers games, the focus is on goaltending. What else is new around here? There is the Tristan Jarry and Devon Levi shuffle, the injury to Frederik Andersen delaying his Oilers debut, the rise of Connor Ungar to AHL starter, and prospects Samuel Jonsson and Nathan Day grinding it out in…
Why the Oilers should claim Flames’ Connor Zary on NHL waivers
A player selected in the first round of the 2020 NHL Draft was placed on NHL waivers on Monday. The Calgary Flames have placed Connor Zary, its 24th overall pick in 2020, on waivers. It came as a bit of a shock given where he was drafted and the fact he’s in his mid-20s. #Flames…
NHL Notebook: Oilers seventh in power rankings; Ovechkin set to retire
The team at Daily Faceoff have fired up their weekly power rankings for the first time this season, and have the Edmonton Oilers coming in seventh. It comes after an up-and-down week for the team in which they lost their season opener 6-5 in overtime to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, before beating them 9-7…
The Oilers signing Tarasenko or Bunting is better than trading for a depth forward
The Edmonton Oilers’ forward depth was seen as an area of strength heading into this season, but just three games in, it has already been tested. While scoring hasn’t been an issue, with 17 goals, the second-most in the National Hockey League, their top nine is an area of concern due to injuries. As it…
Oilers news: Dickinson returns to practice, Levi starts against Ducks
The Edmonton Oilers hit the ice Monday morning, fresh off a first week that went 2-0-1. And as the team prepares for a three-game road trip through Southern California, they got some reinforcements as Jason Dickinson skated with the team. He, according to Daily Faceoff Edmonton’s Jason Gregor, was the pivot on the second line, flanked…
Oilers’ Bouchard named NHL’s second star of the week
Edmonton Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard has earned himself the NHL’s second star of the week after a big three-game set to open the 2026-27 season. He played a key part in the Oilers’ 2-0-1 start to the year, scoring four goals and eight points, helping the team earn five of six points. It started with…
Monday Mailbag: What can the Oilers do to get Jake Walman back on his game?
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing Jake Walman’s play so far, the bottom six, defence, line combos, and more. If you’ve got…
Should the Oilers deal with the pressure of playing in a hockey market better?
The Edmonton Oilers obviously play in a hockey hotbed. They have three of the best players in the world and are expected to challenge for the Stanley Cup. No Canadian team has gone all the way since 1993. That’s a lot of pressure; should they be dealing with it better? Edmonton has come very close…
Sunday Scramble: ‘We didn’t give up a touchdown’ says Babcock as Oilers battle through Week 1
If fantasy hockey worked like fantasy football, you’d have been tempted to start the Edmonton Oilers defence in Week 1, given their weaker schedule. You would’ve been punished. But if you were belligerent on Saturday night and said, “Surely this can’t go on,” you’d be rewarded. “We didn’t give up a touchdown,” said coach Mike Babcock with a…
Unfrozen Part 3: Time traveller goes to his first Oilers games in 47 years
It’s hockey season, folks! An exciting time to be an Edmonton Oilers fan with the best player in the world in the lineup. Even more thrilling than seeing Star Wars a couple of years ago- er, I mean 47 years ago. If you haven’t heard of me, I’m Chaz Horton, the new 92-year-old writer at…
Devon Levi shines, the Dynamic Duo locks up the win, and the Oilers’ power play needs some creativity
After what can only be described as an outrageous win on Thursday in Vancouver, the Edmonton Oilers were back on home ice for their first matchup of the season against the Seattle Kraken. And while the mission was absolutely to win the game, I think the bigger hope for all of us was that they…
The Day After 3.0: Pre-game rituals pay off for Oilers in win against Kraken
Hockey players are creatures of habit. Look no further than their pre-game routines. Some do visualization exercises, others have to tape their stick in a certain way, but one routine that all share is a game of sewer ball. While many have wondered over the years why hockey players kick around a soccer ball, look…
Instant Reaction: Oilers grind out 3-1 low-event win over Kraken
Saturday’s game proved that the Edmonton Oilers are capable of playing low-scoring games. The Oilers would go on to defeat the Seattle Kraken 3-1, moving their season record to 2-0-1, in a game that saw Edmonton outshoot them 25-20. With the win, Edmonton is now 9-1-0 at Rogers Place against Seattle since the team’s first…
Oilers exploring market for ‘lateral trade,’ look to move defenceman for forward
The Edmonton Oilers are poking around in the trade market, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported Saturday night. With a litany of injuries in their forward ranks, missing four of their top seven forwards, the team is looking to trade for some forward depth. Specifically, Friedman reported, the team is looking to trade a defenceman for a forward…
Jarry or Levi? The debate continues around Oilers goaltending
So far, neither Edmonton Oilers goalie has looked good. Who should start Saturday night against the Seattle Kraken? On Tuesday, Tristan Jarry let in six goals, then Devon Levi let in seven goals on Thursday. It couldn’t have started worse for Edmonton’s goaltending tandem against the Vancouver Canucks. Levi has the worst save percentage in…
What should the Oilers do with Walman and Mukhamadullin?
For nearly half a decade, the Edmonton Oilers’ third pair was anchored by Brett Kulak, a speedy, defensive D-man with exceptional durability. But when Kulak’s game fell apart last season, GM Stan Bowman shipped him out of town, and the Oilers have been trying to fill the void ever since. Finding the solution will be…
GDB 3.0: Can the Oilers win without bleeding goals? (5 PM MT, SNW)
The Edmonton Oilers are back at Rogers Place tonigjht for a 5 PM dance with the Seattle Kraken, and after Thursday’s 9-7 circus in Vancouver, I think I speak for all of us when I say it would be nice to have a little less chaos. The Oilers built an 8-2 lead, spent the back…
Oilers Thoughts: Jarry and Levi fumble their starts, Oilers’ offence and physicality, Walman struggling early, and more
All summer and throughout training camp, the Edmonton Oilers coaching staff reiterated the importance of defensive structure. And just when you thought the Oilers were going to buckle down defensively and start looking like those elite, defensively dominant, Cup-winning New Jersey Devils teams of the late ’90s, they go and win a pond-hockey-like 9-7 game…
Pre-Scout: Oilers look to shake sloppiness against Seattle
Has there ever been such an enthralling, yet disorienting and disappointing win for a team that scored nine goals as the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night? Credit to you if you shut the game off after the first period. Heck, even at the midway point when the Oilers went up 8-2, you — a rational…

Winning ugly is better than losing: Oilers’ early-season good and bad
The Edmonton Oilers’ first two games of the 2027 NHL season have taken fans on a wild ride of entertainment, frustration, disbelief, and amazement while challenging you to balance the good with the bad. There has been a lot of both through the first 122 minutes of the season. It is Positive Friday, so let’s…
Former Oilers goalie Jack Campbell reveals struggle with alcohol led to Leafs departure
Anxiety was never in Jack Campbell’s vocabulary. What he chalked up to nerves was so much more. And on top of a lifelong battle with depression, the former NHL goaltender turned to alcohol during his time with the Toronto Maple Leafs, he shared during an appearance on the Cam and Strick podcast this week. It…
Oilers’ Vasily Podkolzin is off to a hot start and it comes as no surprise
When the Edmonton Oilers’ schedule was released for the 2026-27 season, Vasily Podkolzin’s eyes must’ve lit up. He was probably excited to see that the first two games of the season were against his former team, the Vancouver Canucks, because he was likely eager to show them all the skills he worked on this past…
