NHL Playoffs: Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings | Round 1, Game 4 | 04/28/2024

Game 3 was the type of game we need to see from Evander Kane on a more consistent basis. He made a nifty setup for a goal; he was a net-front presence for a goal of his own, he held his own physically and got into a scrap. When you’re as streaky a player as […]

NHL Playoffs: Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings | Round 1, Game 1 | 04/22/2024

Expectations for Edmonton’s last game of the regular season were low. Colorado had a dress rehearsal, having all of their namable players in the line-up except Alex Georgiev. The Oilers had Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Evan Bouchard, and Mattias Ekholm as healthy scratches. Even in a nothing game, I’d have been […]

Looking Back At Edmonton’s Last Four Postseasons

2020: This NHL season stopped with 20 or so games left in it due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It eventually resumed during the summer and featured a best three out of five qualifying rounds for teams that were at least in the race for a Wild Card spot. The Edmonton Oilers were the top-seeded team […]

McMann Scores Two, Matthews Scores 58th in Maple Leafs 6-3 Win vs. Edmonton Oilers | 3/23/2024

The Maple Leafs sealed their second straight win on Saturday, March 23rd when they played against the Edmonton Oilers at the Scotiabank Arena. It was a tough loss for the Oilers, but a fine 6-3 victory for Toronto. Both Bobby McMann and Pontus Holmberg scored twice for the Maple Leafs, and Auston Matthews recorded his […]

Montreal Canadiens Joshua Roy Out Indefinitely

The Montreal Canadiens have announced that forward Joshua Roy will be out indefinitely after blocking a shot with his leg from Edmonton Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard. Roy has been a bright spot for the Canadiens in his 23 games with the team this year, putting up four goals and five assists for nine points. The […]

Edmonton Oilers Interested In Walker And Laughton?

On Monday’s The Oil Stream episode, Tom Gazzola told Dustin Neilson that David Pagnotta from The Fourth Period confirmed the Edmonton Oilers are speaking to the Philadelphia Flyers regarding a potential trade. This apparently dates back to November when the Oilers were one of the worst teams in the league. But the player the Oilers […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings | 02/26/2024

I like the Battle of Alberta better when we win. Instead, we went back to watching October and November style hockey from Edmonton against the worst possible opponent. The Flames came prepared to play, and the Oilers did not; it was as simple as that. Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm have been a great pairing […]

NHL Game Recap: Dallas Stars vs. Edmonton Oilers Recap | 02/17/2024

The Dallas Stars returned home to host the Edmonton Oilers in a Saturday matinee game on ABC. The Stars fell 4-3 to the Oilers in overtime at the American Airlines Center. Dallas fell to 34-14-7, while Edmonton improved to 32-18-1. Oilers backup goaltender Calvin Pickard made 24 saves for a win. Stars fans who arrived […]

Oilers Game 30: New Jersey Devils

I already miss writing happy articles. Edmonton’s eight-game winning streak was turning October and November into a distant memory. But now, with three regulation losses in a row and being seven points out of a Playoff spot, that winning streak seems like a distant memory instead. Ironically, their special teams, the very thing that they […]

Are The Oilers Back?

It may only be December, but it has already been a tale of two seasons for the Edmonton Oilers. In the first one, everything was going wrong for the hockey club. Connor McDavid dealt with an injury, the team got horrible goaltending, they fired head coach Jay Woodcroft and replaced him with Kris Knoblauch, and […]
