MN Wild Recall Defenseman; Reassign Forward

The Minnesota Wild have announced two changes to their roster. They previously recalled Vinni Lettieri to step in while Ryan Hartman served his two-game suspension. They have reassigned Lettieri to the Iowa Wild and recalled defenseman Dakota Mermis. Defenseman Zach Bogosian sat out of last night’s game with an upper-body injury, and Jared Spurgeon left […]

Anaheim Ducks Lose Early Momentum

The Anaheim Ducks made waves early this season as they closed out the opening month of October with a 5-4-0 record. This record included a road win at TD Garden, which served as the first loss of the season for the Boston Bruins. This trend continued into the beginning of November as the Ducks defeated […]

Oilers Game 22: Winnipeg Jets

Not the ideal way to win your third straight game, but they did it. Up until the last seven and a half minutes, when they blew a 4-2 lead, they were playing some pretty decent hockey. I don’t totally blame Stuart Skinner for the last two goals, but it makes the save percentage worse than […]

An Email Interview with NHL Network Host Jamison Coyle

As you folks already know, I am a big fan of the NHL Network. I love the content, the hosts, the innovations, and the fact that the channel is all hockey all the time. I am proud to present an email interview that I conducted with NHL Network host Jamison Coyle. Jamison clearly loves the […]

Oilers Game 21: Vegas Golden Knights

Well, Connor McDavid seems to be making a comeback. A four-point afternoon on Friday and a five-point night on Sunday enroute to an 8-2 victory over Anaheim. He became the second active player with four assists in back-to-back games along with Nicklas Backstrom in the 2007/2008 season. He’s also now the fourth Oiler after Wayne […]

Oilers Game 20: Anaheim Ducks

I genuinely feel bad for Oilers fans who had to work on Friday afternoon. Their win against the Capitals was the best and most complete game they’ve played so far this season, and it’s not because it was a 5-0 final score. Some people like to throw in the term “statement game” a lot. Some […]

Oilers Game 19: Washington Capitals

I hope that all of our American hockey fans and Inside The Rink readers had a happy Thanksgiving yesterday. I believe they have a lot to be thankful for. I am particularly cheering for teams that are not the Edmonton Oilers. In the Florida trip, they had two-goal leads that they couldn’t hang onto. Against […]

Oilers Game 18: Carolina Hurricanes

Connor McDavid had his first two goal game of the season on Monday night. Yes, that does sound weird to say. No, I didn’t make that up. That’s how odd of a season it has been, along with every other issue plaguing the Edmonton Oilers. McDavid is currently on pace for 80 points in 80 […]

Oilers Game 17: Florida Panthers

Saturday’s loss was bad. It’s one of those games you look back on later in a season and wish you could replay. But of course, no sports team wins every single game. The Oilers won three and lost one. That’s the sort of consistency they need to hang onto to make up for the points […]

Oilers Game 16: Tampa Bay Lightning

Not the ideal way to win your third straight game, but that’s what matters in the end. Down 3-1 late in the third period, and then Evander Kane becomes a hero with the hat-trick. Before this comeback win against the Kraken, remember that Edmonton had a decisive 4-1 win against them on the road last […]
