A deep dive into the Edmonton Oilers’ 2026-27 schedule

Get those travel rewards points ready, hockey fans, because the National Hockey League released its 2026-27 schedule Thursday. This year marks the first since the 1993-94 season in which the league played 84 games, and for NHL teams, that means after years of facing some division rivals four times a year and others three, there…
