Latest news and updates about the Oilers
Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch changed the lines ahead of Monday night’s game in Winnipeg. Matt Savoie is back with Leon Draisaitl and Vasily Podkolzin on the second line, while Jack Roslovic is centring the third line between Mattias Janmark and Trent Frederic. Who knew Roslovic playing centre was even an option? Apparently, Knoblauch…
You could call it a freefall. In the span of a few months, the Winnipeg Jets have gone from a first-place President’s Trophy regular season to today, where on December 29th, they sit just one point out of 32nd place. A miserable November has turned into a ghastly December, even with the return of Hart…
On the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman spent a few minutes talking about Andrew Mangiapane and how his time with the Oilers might be winding down. According to Sportsnet’s insider, Mangiapane might be willing to waive his no-trade clause if Edmonton can find him a bigger role elsewhere. Needless to say,…
Saturday night was one where hard work defeated skill as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames collided for the second time in a week. The Flames’ fourth line ran the Oilers’ show, as Edmonton’s bottom-six may as well have stayed at home to eat leftover Christmas dinner. While the stars did show up for the…

Crossbar. Bar. Bar. Post. That and some disengaged second-period play cost the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night against their arch-rival Calgary Flames in a 3-2 loss. And wouldn’t you know it — for the seventh time this regular season, the Oilers failed to win a third consecutive game. It’s not hard to see why. If…
Canada’s roster for the 2026 Olympics in Milan will be revealed in just a few days on Dec. 31st. Connor McDavid was already named as one of the first six players on the roster back in June, but today I want to talk about another Oiler who is a dark horse to make the team….
As the NHL's Holiday Roster Freeze was lifted as of Sunday morning, several teams around the league have made some moves. The Edmonton Oilers have placed Noah Philp on waivers for the purpose of an assignment to AHL Bakersfield. However, with a face-off win percentage of 56.9%, and the dearth of available centers around the league, there's a chance that he could be claimed by another team, saving him a trip back to the minors. Philp is a defensive-minded, fourth-line center ...

On Sunday, the Edmonton Oilers announced they have activated forward Noah Philp off LTIR and placed him on waivers. Additionally, as previously reported, forward David Tomášek has now officially been placed on waivers for the purpose of contract termination. The #Oilers have placed forward Noah Philp on waivers, in addition to placing forward David Tomasek…
The Jets put a tough OT loss behind them and look ahead to the Oilers.
Throughout the past two regular seasons at five-on-five, Leon Draisaitl’s most common forward linemate has not been Connor McDavid. It has not been Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Zach Hyman either. Instead, the forward who has most often ridden shotgun with the 2025 Rocket Richard winner is Vasily Podkolzin. The Edmonton Oilers initially brought in Podkolzin in…
It’s always fun when the Edmonton Oilers square off against the Calgary Flames, and with a second Battle of Alberta happening only four days after the last one, it would be the understatement of a lifetime to say I was excited about Saturday’s rematch. And as hoped, the emotions were high, the pace was steady,…
Connor Ingram started his third game for the Edmonton Oilers Saturday night. The overall result wasn’t what the team was hoping for, losing 3-2 to the Calgary Flames on a night where the Turkey Legs slowed the Oilers, but one promising result was Ingram’s play. He turned aside 29 of 32 shots for a .906…
Well, that was a let down. Not only did the Edmonton Oilers lose 3-2 to the Calgary Flames on Saturday evening, but it was a rather docile affair in terms of chipiness. Let’s take a look at what went on in this game. Seven minutes into the first period, the Flames got on the board…
The Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames are back at it tonight at the Saddledome, and for the first time in a while, the Battle of Alberta actually feels like it’s supposed to. These teams met just up a few days ago on December 23rd at Rogers Place, where the Oilers cruised to a 5-1 win…
If you’re a Battle of Alberta fan, tonight’s the night. The Edmonton Oilers visit the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome for game two, and if last game said anything, it’s that this one should be worth watching. Last game, in Edmonton on Tuesday, Leon Draisaitl scored a hat trick — all three goals on…
David Tomášek is set to join the legion of overseas free agents signed by the Edmonton Oilers who just didn’t work out. He’s not the first — following suit with the Gaetan Haas’, Joakim Nygard’s and Mikko Koskinen’s of the world — and he likely won’t be the last, and above all, he wasn’t a…

So I’m sure by now you’ve seen that the Oilers actually pulled the trigger on a Tristan Jarry trade with Pittsburgh, sending Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round draft pick. I feel nostalgia for the offseason of 2016 again. Back then, the Oilers made a blockbuster trade of a one-for-one in Taylor Hall…

The Edmonton Oilers have a couple of things to take care of before the trade deadline. And one insider is suggesting that they're looking to make a big splash on defense. Reminiscent of what they did at the 2023 deadline. In March of that season, the Oilers brought in Mattias Ekholm, who completely transformed the Edmonton blueline, pairing up with—and unleashing—Evan Bouchard, while helping to lead the team to two straight Stanley Cup Finals. David Pagnotta feels they're loo...
Things got chippy in the last Battle of Alberta. On Tuesday, the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers played for the second time this season, the first time since the season opener. Despite being on Festivus, two days before Christmas, the two teams weren’t very festive. After a rather tame first period and an Oilers’ goal…
