Latest news and updates about the Oilers
From day one of Captain Skates in early September, the Oilers talked about their goal of getting off to a good start. It hasn’t happened. The team went 4-4-2 and sits tied for 10th in the Western Conference. It’s not an awful start, but it isn’t close to a good start either. Edmonton had one…
Things haven’t been the best for the Edmonton Oilers in the early stages of this season. The offence has been sputtering, the defence has been shaky, and the team is playing just well enough to stick around in games. A litany of new players has arrived in Alberta’s capital this fall, and while there’s no…
For maybe the first time all season, the Edmonton Oilers stuck with their line combinations for a whole game. It’s been a point of contention for the fanbase — possibly even the players — through the first 10 games of the Oilers season, and while the team would fall 4-3 in overtime Sunday night against…
When the Edmonton Oilers aren’t winning, it can feel like the sky is falling. Their 4-4-2 record isn’t ideal after ten games, but it’s far from disastrous. At this point, it almost feels like we should adjust our expectations and accept that the Oilers might start the season slowly. We haven’t seen the best of…

The Edmonton Oilers goalie trade candidates conversation is back on the front burner, and Matt Larkin of Daily Faceoff just mapped the market in tiers. With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in their prime and the window still open, Larkin argues Edmonton should explore upgrades even if Stuart Skinner steadies. His board ranges from low-risk veteran help to true franchise changers, giving general manager Stan Bowman multiple paths if he decides to act. Alex Lyon has been exceptional for ...
At least they got a point?

Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. With just under five minutes left in the first period,…
It’s Nation Vacation weekend in Vancouver, and that means we’ve got a crew of Nation Citizens with boots on the ground for a few days of shenanigans, memories, and hopefully a win to cap off the adventure. Both teams come into this one hovering around .500, with the Oilers sitting at 4-4-1 and the Canucks…
Both the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks will be coming off Saturday night losses when they converge tonight for their second matchup of the season.

The Edmonton Oilers have begun the 2025-26 regular-season with a 4-4-1 record in their first nine games. This is identical to their 4-4-1 record in the first nine games of 2024-25. While there are numerous things to be concerned about thus far, a mediocre start is far from new for this team, and I would…
We made it to Vancouver for the Nation Vacation, and last night, we got together as a group to watch the Oilers take on the Kraken. Unfortunately, it did not go our way. Unfortunately, the same mistakes kept coming up over and over again. Oilers lose, and it’s hard to argue that it wasn’t deserved….
The Edmonton Oilers took some steps in the right direction Saturday night. The good: They outshot the Seattle Kraken 33-23, with a +10 shot differential, their highest since Game 2 of the season against the Vancouver Canucks. The not-so-good: Too few of those pucks went into the Kraken net. The bad: Off the back of…
The Edmonton Oilers’ early-season struggles have continued. On Saturday night, the Oilers played the first game of a back-to-back, falling 3-2 to the Seattle Kraken despite outplaying one of the newest teams in the National Hockey League. Let’s take a look at what went wrong in this one. Less than 90 seconds into the game,…
Thursday’s win against Montreal felt like watching two different hockey teams wearing the same jerseys. For forty-ish minutes, the Oilers looked flat, careless, and completely disconnected. The passing was off, the mistakes piled up, and it felt like we were about to sit through another one of those nights where self-inflicted wounds ruined the result….
One of the more surprising starts to the NHL season, the Seattle Kraken capped off a six-game road trip with a 3-0 shutout victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Through eight games, the Kraken are right near the top of the Pacific Division, two points behind the Vegas Golden Knights for first, and one point better…
A couple of big wins so far this week for the Oilers. Things hadn’t been going the team’s way — some defensive issues, tough time scoring — but they got a bit of everything they needed against the Senators. Connor McDavid got a beauty, which we all knew was coming. Isaac Howard scored his first…
The conversation surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and their goaltending never seems to go away. While the Oilers have gotten off to another ho-hum start at 4-3-1, the issue has been more due to their offense than their goaltending. But, we’ve all seen how the combination of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard has held the Oilers…
It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk.

The Bakersfield Condors have a lot of new faces this year, and this roster is a fun one to watch. Not only that, it’s a deep group. With all the interesting additions made by Stan Bowman over the summer, it’s actually Rem Pitlick leading the team in scoring with six points in three games. Another…
The road trip will not get easier for the San Jose Sharks, as the team heads to New Jersey for the second half of the back-to-backs. The Sharks will face the red hot New Jersey Devils tonight, a team that’s 6-1-0 for the season. New Jersey is at the top of the Metropolitan Division and hasn’t lost since the first game of the season, a 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Since then, the Devils have rolled through the Lightning, Blue Jackets, Panthers, Oilers, Maple Leafs and Wild, outscoring t...
The Edmonton Oilers know they didn’t fully deserve to win Thursday night’s game against the Montreal Canadiens. They were sloppy, disorganized, and looked disinterested at times for the first 50 minutes of the game, but they woke up in the final 10 minutes, erased a two-goal deficit, and won 6-5. It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t…
