The Edmonton Oilers put themselves in a position where a controversial call could put them on the ropes, and that’s exactly what happened Sunday night.

Should the Oilers start Jarry over Ingram in Game 4 against Ducks?
Something needs to change for the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are down 2-1 in their series against the Anaheim Ducks. Aside from a dominant first period in Game 1, the Ducks have been the better team through the first nine periods. Their biggest area of concern has been health, as both Jason Dickinson and Adam…

The Edmonton Oilers are heading into Game 4 against the Anaheim Ducks, and there’s no point in sugarcoating the position they’re in.

Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott is a busy man these days. As the Oilers battle with the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the 2026 playoffs, Scott is now set to interview with a second team for a vacant general manager’s seat.

A closer look into Edmonton’s defensive issues to begin the 2026 Playoffs
Through the first three games of their first-round matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, the Edmonton Oilers have scored 12 goals, averaging exactly four goals per game.

Pre-Scout: Pressure mounts on Oilers, so close, yet so far heading into Game 4
The tone in Kris Knoblauch’s voice signals to me he’s toying with the idea. When questioned after Edmonton Oilers practice, he sounded like he’s leaning toward the decision, but won’t say it yet. If he had a dog to walk around his hotel, he’d do the Don Cherry trick and ask Blue who he should…
Swept You Like A Hurricane
It was pretty clear from Game One last Saturday that these Carolina Hurricanes were not going to be denied. They may still lose in these Stanley Cup Playoffs, but the Ottawa Senators were not going to be the team to end the Hurricanes' dream of a Stanley Cup parade this season. Despite the heroics shown by goaltender Linus Ullmark, the depth of the Hurricanes showed in each game as they got contributions up and down the lineup that the Senators simply could not match. Mix in an ineffective pow...

Oilers need to fix these tactics to be successful against Ducks in Game 4
When I turn on an analytical coach’s mind to deconstruct the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs, something truly weird happens. Time slows down, but it also speeds up. Time has no meaning. We’re all just bags of meat. What I think I mean is that chunks of the game blend together. Every moment has meaning,…
Four Oilers riding momentum into Game 4, and four who need to step up
The highs and lows of Edmonton Oilers playoff hockey are an experience like no other, and Game 3 was a great example of it. The Oilers were outplayed, then took the lead, were outplayed again, and took another lead, only to fall to the Anaheim Ducks 7-4, with the Ducks now holding a 2-1 series…
