The Edmonton Oilers will be without forwards Noah Philp and Curtis Lazar for the remainder of their seven-game road trip, head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed after the team’s morning skate in Washington. Needless to say, the injuries are starting to pile up around here. According to EdmontonOilers Head Coach Kris Knoblauch both Noah Philp and…

Pre-Scout: The Capitals might not be scoring much, but they’re very tough to score on

Certainly, there’s enough shenanigans happening on Capitol Hill that the lacklustre start for the Washington Capitals is flying under the radar. Blink and you would have missed in the 20,000 released emails this revelatory phrase: “The Caps aren’t scoring, Donny.”  Perhaps a regular season where everything went right a year ago is regressing just as…

Is This A Birthday Suit?

When the SPHL's Huntsville Havoc announced that they were changing their logos for this season, I wasn't sure what to expect. After all, how does one design "Havoc" as a logo? While they had a somewhat tame logo for the last few seasons, I never expected them to go back to a cartoonish logo like the one to the left, but that's what they unveiled before the start of this season. Maybe it's more appealing to kids and families, but we're not here to talk about this logo because the Huntsville Hav...

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was.

Bondra Will Be Watching

It isn't often that Peter Bondra speaks about hockey, but he usually has something interesting to say when he does. Tom Gulitti of NHL.com spent some time talking hockey with Bondra recently , and that interview went live today on the NHL's website. The majority of that conversation was about Slovakia and the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics, and Bondra, who is not involved with the Slovakian national team, gave his thoughts on his country's chances at the February tournament. For a guy who sk...

The Oilers Need More Contributors

Hockey is the ultimate team game. Your star players should lead the charge, and when they do, it is easier for depth guys, but there have to be games where the depth guys contribute In November, the Edmonton Oilers’ depth players have been nonexistent. Frankly, they’ve been awful. In October, the Oilers’ depth forwards chipped…

The Day After 21.0: Concerning trends becoming big issue for Oilers

One step forward, two steps back. Welcome to the 2025-26 Edmonton Oilers. A poor start to the season continued Monday night as the Oilers couldn’t muster a whimper against the 29th-ranked Buffalo Sabres, losing 5-1. A “scheduled loss” some have called it, but nobody can say it with a straight face. For as many stinkers…

Edmonton and Red Deer to host IIHF World Junior Championship in 2027

One of the biggest tournaments in the game is coming back to the provincial capital of Alberta.

Oilers GM Bowman: Goaltending will improve if ‘defence can manage the puck better’

Not a day goes by that goaltending isn’t a conversation amongst fans of the Edmonton Oilers. Both Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard have been under a microscope since the season began on October 8, with each goal allowed being nitpicked by fans looking for someone to blame. Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman sat down with…

Today In NHL History - Brad May's Disallowed Goal

On November 18th in 2009, Detroit Red Wings bruiser Brad May scored what would have been the lone goal of his final NHL season and last of his career. Unfortunately, it was wrongfully disallowed by referees Dennis LaRue and Stephane Augier. Relying on Rule 31.2, LaRue exacerbated his oversight claiming he intended to blow the whistle prior to the puck entering the net, thus removing the play

Today In NHL History - Clark Shoots Through Net

On November 18th in 2010, Tampa Bay Lightning blueliner Brett Clark fired a slapshot past Philadelphia Flyers netminder Sergei Bobrovsky and through the back of net, narrowing the Flyers lead to 5-4 in a wild first period of play. Better known for blocking shots than scoring goals, the blast marked Brett's first time scoring in consecutive regular season starts. Tampa Bay came back to beat
