Connor Clattenburg, come on down. The Edmonton Oilers announced Friday night they recalled the rugged winger from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors ahead of Saturday night’s showdown with the Florida Panthers. The Oilers also announced they placed forward Noah Philp on the Long-Term Injured Reserve. Saturday will mark Clattenburg’s NHL debut as the Oilers and Panthers…

It’s been tough sledding to start the 2025-26 season for the Edmonton Oilers. The team has sputtered out of the gate for their third consecutive season, despite spending all of the pre-season and training camp talking about how the exact outcome they’ve faced is what they wanted to avoid. They sit with a .500 record…

After getting dunked on 7-4 by the Capitals on Wednesday night, the Oilers rolled into Tampa Bay for the second half of their back-to-back, hoping to shake off the stink and find something to feel good about. The schedule did them no favours, and the vibes heading into Tampa were about as low as they’ve…

By most accounts, you couldn’t ask for much more from the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. They played in the second half of a back-to-back, arriving in Tampa Bay in the middle of the night, taking on the Lightning hours later. It was one of those games you look at on the calendar and say,…

Well now. Welcome back, Nick Paul.
The Tampa Bay Lightning forward punctuated his first game of the season with a game-tying goal with 2:32 to go in the game. That set the table for Jake Guentzel’s overtime winner on a wake-the-neighbors sequence of plays that started with Andrei Vasilevskiy literally saving the game with a desperation left-pad save and ended with Darren Raddysh’s perfect geed to Guentzel on a two-on-one break the other way.
Paul was in the line-up after missing the ...

That’s one hell of a way to lose a hockey game. On Thursday evening, the Edmonton Oilers played the sixth of seven on this road trip. This time, it was a matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning, with the Oilers falling 2-1 in overtime on the second game of a back-to-back, moving their season record…

In most mid-tier horror movies, at some point in the movie, one of the characters enters a dark room or goes outside in the dark, and while watching, you say, “Don’t go in there!” But they do, and they get killed. It’s essentially the same process watching the Edmonton Oilers right now. The outcome has…

Based on a few coincidental factors it appears that Nick Paul is going to be back in the Tampa Bay Lightning line-up tonight as they face the Edmonton Oilers. First off, the Lightning re-assigned Scott Sabourin to Syracuse yesterday, indicating that yet another forward was healthy following the return of Anthony Cirelli and Dominic James. Second, at the morning skate, Paul led the stretching from the center of the ice, an unofficial position of honor usually reserved for players getting called...

The Edmonton Oilers face the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night at Benchmark International Arena, and nobody really knows what to make of either team. Tampa’s made roster moves in the past couple of days, calling up players from AHL Syracuse to deal with injuries. But let’s be honest—Edmonton’s been shuffling their lineup constantly, too….

There are plenty of lessons the Edmonton Oilers can take from Thursday’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning, because their path from frustration to dominance is a blueprint that should hit close to home. Like most expansion teams, the Lightning spent years stumbling around the basement before finding their footing. By the mid-2000s, they had built…

Apparently, the transition from the Edmonton Oilers to the Toronto Maple Leafs is a seamless one for Troy Stecher. Some players can’t handle the stress of playing in the Toronto market, particularly as they’re off to one of their slowest starts in a decade. But for Stecher, it’s just another day, especially after getting out…

The Edmonton Oilers need to acquire a netminder before it’s too late. This is something that most people are aware of, but over the past few seasons, I have been an ardent supporter of Stuart Skinner. Through the quarter mark of the 2025-26 season, Skinner’s flaws have been exposed even more than in the past…

After whatever the hell that was in Buffalo on Monday, the Oilers hit the ice in Washington on Wednesday, hoping to look like a professional hockey team again. Getting pumped 5-1 by a Sabres squad missing half its forwards isn’t exactly a confidence booster, so I looked at last night’s matchup against the Capitals as…

Wednesday was another night much like so many have been this season for the Edmonton Oilers. They got down early, watching the Washington Capitals score twice in the first six minutes of the game, and all the Oilers could do was chase. And much like other nights throughout this season, the Oilers found a way…

At this point, almost everyone knows that the Edmonton Oilers need better goaltending, but it isn't always that easy to come by. Some of the highest-paid goaltenders are sub-.900 SV%, while others are unexpectedly playing great, season after season. One thing remains the same though. The Oilers' goaltending brings them down. The Oilers have made attempts to get goalies who have been traded in recent years, but to no avail. At this point, it is very much needed as Calvin Pickard appears to be d...

The roster shuffle has begun for the Edmonton Oilers in the wake of Zach Hyman’s return to the lineup. With the winger set to return Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Oilers placed defenceman Troy Stecher on waivers and assigned winger Isaac Howard to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors.

Tyson Foerster returned to the lineup for Wednesday night’s game against the Edmonton Oilers, and Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet put him back together with his usual linemates of Noah Cates and Bobby Brink.
However, Tocchet decided to mix up the other lines for that one rather than try to build on the chemistry that some of the other forwards have built. That didn’t turn out so well as the Flyers went long stretches without much offensive pressure against Edmonton, and Tocche...

In case you somehow haven’t noticed, the Edmonton Oilers’ goalie tandem has not looked good to start the season. Through 19 games, Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard have now combined for an .863 SV% and a 3.42 GAA. Of course, this is nothing new. For years now, fans have been screaming at Oilers brass to…
