Thirteen years after being drafted seventh overall by the Edmonton Oilers, Darnell Nurse’s time with the only NHL team he’s known has come to an end.

The Edmonton Oilers have acquired goaltender Devon Levi from the Buffalo Sabres, the club announced Wednesday. The 24-year-old goaltender will arrive in Edmonton alongside a 2028 seventh-round pick, with the Oilers sending the Sabres back a third-round pick in 2028. TRADE

Former Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner signs two-year deal with Jets

Former Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner is headed back to Canada. Skinner has reportedly agreed to terms with the Winnipeg Jets on a two-year contract worth $3.75 million per year. The question is, does this signing mean the Jets are on the cusp of a Connor Hellebuyck trade, or are they just shoring up their…

The Edmonton Oilers netminder of one season will test free agency, according to Sportsnet’s Mark Spector. “Negotiations with Oilers not fruitful,” Spector tweeted just before 9:00 A.M. on Wednesday morning. “Would have liked to have remained an Oiler.

Oilers ‘had interest’ in free agent goaltender Bobrovsky: Friedman

Picture this: Sergei Bobrovsky on the Edmonton Oilers. For some Oilers fans, it would be hard to stomach. After all, he’s the one who helped the Florida Panthers beat Edmonton in back-to-back Stanley Cup finals. For other Oilers fans — which may very well be the majority — would rejoice over the idea of the…

It's hard for me to understand what direction the NHL's Winnipeg Jets are headed in based on what they cay compared to what they do. I understand that a trade for Connor Hellebuyck hasn't materialized, but we need to be honest in looking at other aspects of the team that can be improved in order to keep their star goalie happy in his crease. One of those ways would be to have a better defensive structure overall which had me questioning why the Jets were so giddy about Jonathan Toews when Davi...

Oilers free agent targets: Is Vladimir Tarasenko the perfect middle-six option?

The Edmonton Oilers could consider adding more scoring in their middle-six. Without Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl on the ice during five-on-five play in 2025-26, the Oilers managed to score just 55 goals, allowing 86 for a goal share of 39.01 percent. They were routinely outshot and outchanced, forming one of the worst bottom-six groups…
