The Oilers, unfortunately, blew another couple of leads this week, but they still played some good hockey against some quality teams. The good news is that if they continue to put themselves in a position to lead, they’ll eventually start closing out those games more consistently. That’s a much better situation than constantly having to…

The Edmonton Oilers are about to get a lot healthier, but with that will have to come some roster moves.

As for the forwards, Zach Hyman, Kasperi Kapanen, and Mattias Janmark are all returning shortly a...

In fact, he’s yet to even play in any of the Condors’ nine games so far this season as he’s worked his way back from injury. But Akey…

After pissing away what looked like a sure thing against the St. Louis Blues on Monday, the Edmonton Oilers were back on the ice in Dallas to close out the second half of their back-to-back. And while we all knew beating the Stars would be a tall task, what I didn’t expect was to watch…

At least the Edmonton Oilers can say they are consistent. They lost in St. Louis last night due to the same repeated issues: lack of 5×5 scoring and a major defensive gaffe. Rinse, wash, repeat, although something did occur last night that has never happened once in the previous 11 seasons. Edmonton’s scoring woes at…

It is the most obvious hole on the Philadelphia Flyers lineup and it’s something that general manager Danny Briere clearly wants to address, and now might be the perfect time to do so. Scrolling down the lineup for the Flyers, their third defensive pairing on the blue line sticks out like the sorest of sore thumbs. Glowing red with the word “Yee-ouch!” animated over it, a rotating cast of characters like Noah Juulsen, Adam Ginning, Egor Zamula, and not until recently Emil Andrae, gives li...

After taking care of the Blackhawks on Saturday at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers hit the road for a quick two-game trip that started Monday in St. Louis against the Blues.

The Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes are in the same mindset of going for a Stanley Cup this season, but early on, they are in different places in terms of adding or moving off of players. The Oilers have managed thus far with some injured players, but as those players get healthy, they will be looking to move at least one player out. The Hurricanes, on the other hand, have had to fill their very injured team with rookies and are looking to bring in more experience for the time being. F...
