Oilersnation Radio: Oilers undefeated in 2026, and Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson recalled
It’s Friday 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 Tristan Jarry’s injury, the Oilers’ recall of Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson, additional injury updates, line combos, and more.

Today In NHL History - Chicago Stick Up
On January 1st in 2009, the Detroit Red Wings played the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL's outdoor Winter Classic at Wrigley Field. In a city famous for crime and corruption, I suppose it's not surprising that Chicago afternoon ended cloaked in controversy. Fresh off a 6-4 victory in The Friendly Confines, Henrik Zetterberg handed his game stick to 14 year-old Wings&
Today In NHL History - Joe Thornton Taunts Sedin
On December 28th in 2011, San Jose Sharks captain Joe Thornton thrice planted his finger firmly into the face of Vancouver Canucks forward Henrik Sedin whilst pleading his club's case before referee Gord Dwyer. Thornton's taunts, reminiscent of the Burrows/Bergeron Stanley Cup Final finger biting episode and aftermath, were neither penalized nor effective as the Canucks Western Conference Final
Today In NHL History - Mario Lemieux's Cycle
On December 31st in 1988, Mario Lemieux collected five goals in a New Year's Eve game against the New Jersey Devils, one in each of the five possible regulation time scoring situations (even strength, shorthanded, powerplay, penalty shot, empty net) in the NHL's pre-shootout era. Bob Sauvé allowed Mario's first three markers (a hat trick in the opening period) with rookie Chris Terreri
Flashback Friday: Oilers trade Jari Kurri to Flyers
The Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers have made plenty of trades over the years. Most recently, the Oilers sent Ben Gleason to the Flyers for Ronnie Attard early into the 2024-25 season. Before that, the Oilers traded their 2025 first-round pick to the Flyers for the 32nd overall pick, using it to select Sam O’Reilly,…
Former Oiler Philip Broberg picked for Swedish Olympic roster over Mattias Ekholm
A little bit of salt in the wounds for Edmonton Oilers fans. On Friday, the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation revealed its men’s roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Along with notable names like Victor Hedman, Elias Pettersson, and Lucas Raymond, one player who will be making his Olympic debut will be St. Louis Blues defenceman…
Oilers Thoughts: Roslovic’s return to the wing, Hyman’s Team Canada snub, Hutson & Howard’s recall, Ingram bounce-back, and more
Just like that, the holidays are behind us. The Edmonton Oilers ended 2025 with a loss, but they kick off 2026 sitting pretty atop the Pacific Division. With the calendar flipped following what was hopefully a fun and safe New Year’s Eve for everyone, it’s time for another edition of Oilers Thoughts, where we dive…
Oilers recall Isaac Howard, Quinn Hutson after red-hot AHL run
The Edmonton Oilers are recalling two of the American Hockey League’s hottest scorers. Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson were recalled to the Oilers roster Friday, the club announced. For Howard, it marks his first recall since he was sent down to the Bakersfield Condors in mid-November. The #Oilers have recalled forwards Isaac Howard & Quinn…

Knoblauch wants Oilers’ Jack Roslovic in the top-six. Is that the right move?
It seems like the Edmonton Oilers’ top-six is about to be cemented. After Wednesday’s 6-2 defeat to the Boston Bruins, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch addressed the media in his post-game presser. When asked if Jack Roslovic was more dangerous in a top six role on the wing, Knoblauch had this to say: “Yeah, it…

He was ranked No. 57 on Brownlee’s original list. The Edmonton Oilers have arguably the greatest Finnish player of all-time,…

The Hockey Show - Episode 693
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns to open 2026 with some intense hockey discussion tonight! While the World Junior Championship continues, our two hosts don't make one mention of it tonight as they opt to focus on other stories that make for lively discussion. You may be thinking, "What else could they be discussing?" which is why you should be tuning in to hear the show. We have lots to go over from the hockey world, so kick back, s...
With Tristan Jarry out until mid-January, Oilers’ goalie decisions to be made on ‘game by game’ basis
With Tristan Jarry not expected to return to the Edmonton Oilers crease any sooner than mid-January, goaltending decisions will be made on a “game-by-game” basis, head coach Kris Knoblauch said. Connor Ingram had a poor showing for the first time since his recall, allowing six goals on 29 shots against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday,…
Oilers’ Connor McDavid named NHL’s First Star of the Month for December
The greatness that is Connor McDavid continues. On Thursday, the NHL released its Three Stars for the Month of December.

Jones, 27, was recalled by the Oilers on December 11th, and the winger drew in for eight games, scoring a goal and an assist, while also getting into his first…
It's Been A Year
2025 is coming to a close today, and there have been lots of news stories and analyses done on players and leagues by a myriad of people this year. I want to end this year with two simple messages for the readers of this blog. There's nothing introspective nor profound about these two messages, but I think there's a significant shift that needs to happen when it comes to hockey. I say that because no matter what article from what year I read on this blog, the changes needed to make hockey bett...
Happy New Year, Nation!
Whether you were at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Bruins, out and about, or home with your friends, family, or animals, I hope that whatever you did to ring in the new year was filled with happiness, friendship, and time spent doing whatever you wanted. I also hope that whatever you got up to…
A Second Chance To Walk Away
The entire saga surrounding former hockey player Ben Johnson seems to have come to its predictable conclusion today after the ECHL's Allen Americans released him from the contract he signed yesterday. Thanks to the intense swell of public backlash, the Americans seem to have reconsidered their statements on "second chances" for Johnson who is a convicted rapist that spent time in jail in Canada for his crimes as he's one again a free agent. I have taken great care on this blog to explain why s...
Connor McDavid’s incredible December, love for Zach Hyman, and the Oilers’ home-heavy schedule
The Oilers didn’t exactly bring their A-game on Monday night in Winnipeg, despite Calvin Pickard stealing a 3-1 win, and it would take a much stronger effort than that to beat the Bruins. Sure, Boston rolled into Rogers Place riding a six-game losing streak, but that certainly didn’t mean Edmonton would be able to take…
