After landing on the Bakersfield Condors’ opening day roster, it hasn’t been a smooth start to the 2025-26 season for Edmonton Oilers’ top defensive prospect Beau Akey. 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…

The rough starts for the Edmonton Oilers are nothing new. For the past couple of years, the team from Alberta’s capital has struggled out of the gate, but managed to turn it into deep playoff runs, including advancing to each of the past two Stanley Cup Finals.

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...

The Edmonton Oilers have been linked to Kiefer Sherwood thanks to Edmonton Journal insider David Staples , who amplified Bob Stauffer’s on-air speculation that Sherwood could be an ideal middle-six target if the Vancouver Canucks cannot extend him. The appeal is obvious for the Oilers: Sherwood’s contract sits at a tidy $1.5 million AAV, he delivered a career-best 19 goals and 40 points in 2024–25, and he has erupted with nine goals in his first 12 games this season. Add a heavy fo...
