After a slower start to the season, Brayden Point was playing like an Olympian the past month with eight goals and 19 points in 15 games. He was looking like the player that Team Canada had listed as one of the original six players to the 2026 Olympic team. In the three previous seasons, Point…

Through the first half of the season, Trent Frederic’s start with the Edmonton Oilers after signing his eight-year deal hasn’t quite lived up to expectations, with only three points through 45 games. As someone on the outside looking in, you can only speculate as to why — perhaps he’s still feeling the effects of the…

No need to worry about whether or not the Edmonton Oilers can reach three consecutive wins. This time, the winning streak ended at one. After picking up a commanding 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, the Oilers dropped the second leg of their back-to-back on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators, falling 4-3…

One of my favorite posts of every year is the annual prediction contest, in which I give you ten simple questions about how the upcoming season will go, and you get them wrong. I love that for us, for two reasons. First, it helps me feel better about all of my own bad predictions. (The New Jersey Devils: maybe not elite Cup contenders after all.) But more importantly, it’s a way to remind us all about just how unpredictable the NHL has become. It’s easy to look back at any given season after i...

After picking up a win on Monday night in Chicago, the Oilers were right back to work less than 24 hours later in Nashville for the second half of their back-to-back set. Edmonton was 8-1-1 in their last 10 games against the Predators, and while history was on their side, it was going to take…

There has only been a handful of times where this blog has been involved in international hockey events with our neighbours to the south, but the arrival of today's news in my email may change that. I know I've had the privilege of covering the World Deaf Ice Hockey Championship back in 2009 and there have been a handful of US-based teams who have played at the Female World Sport School Challenge, but I've never been involved in a series of games between a US-based team and a Canadian-based te...

Déjà vu all over again. Just a week ago, the Edmonton Oilers gave the Nashville Predators a home beatdown in a 6-2 victory. Now they renew hostilities with the Mayor of Smashville Leon Draisaitl, returning to municipal politics and slinging pucks in Tennessee. The Preds are 2-1 in the three games of the Oilers sandwich,…

Last week, I outlined the different factors that will impact the Edmonton Oilers as we creep closer and closer to the NHL’s trade deadline. Edmonton’s cap space is limited, and they don’t have a lot of premium assets to spend. Because of that, it seems unlikely that they’ll be able to make more than one…

The Oilers got back in the win column on Monday night with a 4-1 victory over the Blackhawks, shaking off Saturday’s frustrating loss to the Kings. That’s not to say that getting the win in Chicago was smooth sailing for 60 minutes, but it was the kind of response you want to see after letting…
