It seems like the Edmonton Oilers’ top-six is about to be cemented. After Wednesday’s 6-2 defeat to the Boston Bruins, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch addressed the media in his post-game presser. When asked if Jack Roslovic was more dangerous in a top six role on the wing, Knoblauch had this to say: “Yeah, it…

With Tristan Jarry not expected to return to the Edmonton Oilers crease any sooner than mid-January, goaltending decisions will be made on a “game-by-game” basis, head coach Kris Knoblauch said. Connor Ingram had a poor showing for the first time since his recall, allowing six goals on 29 shots against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday,…

So long, 2025. It was a long, difficult year, and that’s something the Edmonton Oilers can surely attest to after a second straight Stanley Cup Final loss. They close out the calendar year with a middling 46-32-8 record for a .581 points percentage — the 14th best mark in the league. They closed out last…

The Edmonton Oilers have played the most road games in the NHL through 40 games, with 16 at home and 24 on the road. That is the largest split differential in the NHL, but that will change starting tonight. Edmonton plays 12 of their next 16 games at home, and by the end of January,…

The Edmonton Oilers have been squeezing the nickel until the beaver squeals, as close to the salary cap ceiling as they can with their current roster. If there’s one benefit to the volume of injuries they’ve endured, it’s that the hard salary cap decisions have been delayed. The past week has seen David Tomášek‘s $1.2-million…

Welcome to the last Public Skate of 2025, folks! You’ve skated publicly 80-something times (or close, I estimated) this year, and we always appreciate your participation. Hopefully tonight’s game won’t inspire another round of searching the comments for ways to describe how bad the game was, but beggars can’t be choosers. Tonight looks like a […]

So, let’s get this straight. The Edmonton Oilers are about to face the Boston Bruins tonight on New Year’s Eve, and Andrew Mangiapane — yes, the same Andrew Mangiapane who was a healthy scratch literally one game ago — is now skating on the second line with Leon Draisaitl.

The Alec Regula experiment has hit a stumbling block recently with the Edmonton Oilers, so much so that Kris Knoblauch opted to play Riley Stillman, a career AHLer, in his spot against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. Regula was a mystery coming into the season. He was claimed off waivers last December but never…

The Edmonton Oilers have sole possession of first place in the NHL’s Pacific Division. It’s the first time all season such has been the case for the Oilers, who struggled out the gate to start the season, only to go on a 9-4-1 in the month of December, shooting them up the standings. Their ninth…

The Edmonton Oilers gutted out a 3–1 win over the Winnipeg Jets last night, doing so without forward Andrew Mangiapane, who was a healthy scratch. Perhaps the scratch was simply a reflection of his recent play, or it could signal something more. As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman noted on a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts…

Noah Philp is a 27-year-old who has only appeared in 30 career NHL games, and most of those games were far from memorable. Losing him on waivers is far from the end of the world. It is, however, an example of what I view as a relatively large organizational flaw that the Edmonton Oilers have…

I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that Saturday’s loss to the Flames was one of the more disappointing outcomes we’ve had lately. The Oilers were outplayed for stretches, hit posts en masse, and ultimately came up a goal short of picking up at least a point in the first game…

The Edmonton Oilers have been making moves lately with players coming off of the injured reserve. Noah Philp was placed on waivers and claimed by the Carolina Hurricanes , Cal Clattenburg was assigned to the AHL, and David Tomasek returned to the SHL. But there are still moves yet to be made as Andrew Mangiapane was a healthy scratch in the team's previous game. If the Oilers are sitting Mangiapane over players like Trent Frederic, Adam Henrique, Curtis Lazar, and Max Jones, then there's more ...
