Latest news and updates about the Oilers
Good news Oilersnation: The Edmonton Oilers have played quite well in four of their last five games. Bad news: They only have two wins in those five games. The Oilers need to string together some wins, and Seattle is a team they need to beat. Their last five games saw them lose 2-1 in OT…

While Jesper Wallstedt got his flowers for shutting out the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, it's hard to argue that the difference for the Minnesota Wild wasn't Jonas Brodin. The shutdown defenseman is notorious in Alberta for coming the closest to anyone in the NHL to putting a lid on Connor McDa...

Things have been quiet in Kraken land lately. It makes sense why. Seattle hasn’t played since the Oilers shut them out 4-0 on home ice on Saturday. Their power play went 0-6 on the day, and they were shut out for the second time in their last three games. That same PP is 0/14 in…

Nothing has come easily for the Edmonton Oilers this season. They’ve yet to win more than two games in a row, and one could argue they struggled to play even two consecutive solid games in a row, until their last two against Seattle and Minnesota. I understand a team would rather win and play poorly…

Kraken forward Mason Marchment found himself under the skin of the Oilers after laying a late, blindside hit on Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse late in the first period. Marchment was challenged by…

Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap to the other guy for a job well done. That seems to be the case for the Edmonton Oilers, who played a strong game on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Wild but fell 1-0 because nothing is getting past Jesper Wallstedt right now. The 20th overall pick…

The Oilers had a fantastic afternoon in Seattle on Saturday, and that 4-0 shutout was probably their most complete effort at both ends of the rink that we’ve seen in a month or more. Now that the boys have a run of home games in front of them, we were all looking for them to…

We’ve seen some rough showings at home from the Edmonton Oilers early this season. In the span of a couple of weeks, they’ve taken a 9-1 loss to Colorado and an 8-3 drubbing from Dallas. Those games are hard to watch, and they are even harder to be a part of if you are in…

That's Wild Jesper Wallstedt can do no wrong right now. Just hours after the Minnesota Wild netminder was named Rookie of the Month for November, he went ahead and earned an gutsy 1-0 shutout win over Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. There is really nothing stopping him from being a domi...

It was the most obvious shutout in NHL history. You could see it coming a mile away. Four years after the Edmonton Oilers passed on drafting him in the first round, Jesper Wallstedt made them pay, stopping all 33 shots he faced in the Minnesota Wild’s 1-0 win Tuesday night. Wallstedt was nothing short of…

The Edmonton Oilers host the Minnesota Wild tonight at Rogers Place, and here’s the simple truth: this is a casually quiet must-win game. Not because everything falls apart if they don’t. But because beating good teams at home is what playoff teams do. And Minnesota is playing excellent hockey right now. The Wild went 11-1-2…

The Edmonton Oilers’ arduous start to the season has seen them sputter to a 11-10-5 record through their first 26 games — a start that the writers at Daily Faceoff are none too impressed with.
