The Edmonton Oilers announced last week that superstar Leon Draisaitl would miss the rest of the regular season with his lower-body injury . That insinuates that he would be back for the playoffs. But fans in Edmonton are panicking a bit after hearing an interview that Draisaitl did over in his homeland, where he's gone for treatment. 🚨 Sky exclusive: Leon #Draisaitl is currently in Munich receiving treatment for his injury from well known sports doctor Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt. Speaking to ...
It seems like the Edmonton Oilers will be without Trent Frederic for an unknown amount of time. If you told me that earlier this season, I wouldn’t have been too bothered, given his lack of production and the team being shelled when he was on the ice. But the thing is, since the calendar flipped,…
It was the Nikita Kucherov show in Edmonton on Saturday night, as the Russian star led the Lightning to a 5-2 win over the Oilers with two goals and two assists.

I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that the Oilers were far from their best with the Panthers in town on Thursday. Despite being built up as a Stanley Cup rematch, Edmonton was mightily outworked by a shorthanded Florida club that wound up controlling the night from start to finish. Sunday’s…
In a game between the NHL’s two top scorers, it was Nikita Kucherov emerging on top as he outdueled Connor McDavid in the Lightning’s 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Kucherov scored twice, including his first career short-handed goal, and added two assists while McDavid had Edmonton’s first goal of the game. With the four points, Kucherov moved ahead of McDavid in the scoring race. Anthony Cirelli, who missed most of the second half of the game following a second-period fight with Vasil...
For the second consecutive game, the Edmonton Oilers were outclassed by a team based in Florida. After falling 4-0 on Thursday to the Florida Panthers, the Oilers fell 5-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday in what was a chippy game. Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. In the final…
The Edmonton Oilers are back at it in the late slot on Hockey Night in Canada for the last night of their homestand, and while a 2-1 run through the first three games is fine in the bigger picture, every point you miss gets bigger with only 12 games left to play. If the boys…
Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl is in Germany receiving treatment for a lower-body injury, and is hopeful to return to the lineup “soon.” In an interview with Sky News’ Michael Leopold, Draisaitl revealed he will remain in Munich until next Tuesday. When asked if he’ll be ready to return to the Oilers’ lineup in time for…
Noise about the Edmonton Oilers’ Thursday loss to the Florida Panthers has been loud. It was nothing short of a pitiful performance, as the Oilers were outworked in every element by a team a dozen points out of a playoff spot, never mind the fact that Florida beat the Oilers in two straight Stanley Cup…
The Edmonton Oilers lost no ground amongst their closest divisional rivals after a disappointing 4-0 shutout loss to the Florida Panthers — that’s the good news.

The Edmonton Oilers faced their first taste of adversity without Leon Draisaitl in the lineup, coming out flat last game and falling 4-0 to their arch-nemesis, the Florida Panthers.

He might not have been having the type of season that the Edmonton Oilers envisioned when they handed him an inexplicable eight-year extension last summer, but Trent Frederic's physicality will still be missed in the lineup. It's been revealed that he is out with an injury with no timeline currently for a return. From @EdmontonOilers Kris Knoblauch on Trent Frederic "Trent is out with an injury and I dont have a timeline." — Gene Principe (@GenePrincipe) March 20, 2026 Head coach Kris Kn...
The Edmonton Oilers delivered a mixed bag injury update on Friday, as the team continues to lose bodies down the stretch drive of the regular season. Trent Frederic did not return in the third period against the Florida Panthers, an eventual 4-0 loss. On his last shift of the second period, Frederic fell while on…

Even after a disappointing loss to the Florida Panthers, they find themselves just one point back of the Anaheim Ducks for the top spot in the division, and even though the Ducks have two games in hand…
I’ll defer to Paul Maurice, who’s approaching 2,000 games coached in the National Hockey League. He said this after his Florida Panthers, who jumped to 14th in the Eastern Conference, beat the Edmonton Oilers in a Stanley Cup Final rematch (part deux) 4-0 on Thursday night. “Finding that juice in the regular season is a…
The Florida Panthers treated Thursday’s Stanley Cup Final rematch in Edmonton like it meant something. The Oilers did not. The result? A decisive 4-0 road victory for the back-to-back champions. There won’t be any rings handed out for this game and there isn’t going to be a parade when the Panthers arrive back in South…
The Edmonton Oilers found themselves on a bit of a run coming into Thursday’s matchup with the Florida Panthers, going 4-1-1 in their last six games, but they would need another strong effort if they were going to keep the good times rolling. Even though the Panthers are well out of the playoff race at…
Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers blanked the Edmonton Oilers 4-0 at Rogers Place to snap a two-game skid. Bobrovsky stopped all 21 shots faced to join Roberto Luongo (38) and Tomas Voukon (23) as the only goalers in franchise history to record 20 shutouts. The Panthers delivered a near-perfect first period of road hockey, outchancing the Oilers 14-4, and put two goals on the board to establish firm control. Cole Reinhardt notched his first as a Cat when Mike Benning sen...
The Edmonton Oilers just can’t seem to figure out the Florida Panthers. On Thursday evening, the Oilers played the Panthers for the second time this season, falling 4-0 to the reigning Stanley Cup champions on home ice. Let’s take a look at what went on in this game. The Panthers took the lead just over…
The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers’ disdain for one another is real. It isn’t manufactured. The NHL sent a memo to both teams during last year’s Stanley Cup Final to tone down their on-ice verbal assaults. The intensity was obvious. The teams might respect each other’s talent, but it was clear in the Panthers’ celebrations…
The man who took out one of the Edmonton Oilers‘ top stars has shared his side of the story. When speaking to the media on Thursday, Nashville Predators forward Ozzy Wiesblatt was asked about the hit on Oilers sniper Leon Draisaitl that led to the latter being ruled out for the remainder of the 2025-26…
