It was a great week for the Bakersfield Condors as they have now found themselves winners of three straight games and start the new year off undefeated. It was also a test for the depth in Bakersfield as their two top guns, Quinn Hutson and Isaac Howard, got recalled on January 2nd, but before that,…

Coming into the season, one of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest perceived strengths was their defensive core. Edmonton’s depth on the back end was a huge reason why they got to a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final last spring. The ability to play Jake Walman in softer matchups gave their bottom six a puck-moving edge that…

[ BSH ] *When you finish going through our takeaways over here, you can check out Charlie’s over at PHLY. Because you simply can never have too many takeaways, right?

Heading into the season, I didn’t think the Edmonton Oilers were going to win the Stanley Cup. I was scared to give that opinion when I first joined Oilersnation in October. Florida Panthers be damned, three consecutive final appearances is uncommon, never mind winning your first Stanley Cup in three tries, which has rarely ever…

Kapanen returned to practice on December 31st, and reports are optimistic that he’ll be game-ready soon. “He’s getting very close, and if it’s not Tuesday, probably Thursday. But definitely…

There wasn’t much that went right for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday afternoon. In their 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the team moved to 5-10 in matinee games over the last two seasons. They came out flat, once again, and while the Oilers had their moments that included a nice play that sparked a…

It does seem that Andrew Mangiapane's days as an Edmonton Oiler are numbered. We heard last week that they're looking for the right opportunity for the 29-year-old veteran. And while one team is being held up by a number of multiple insiders as an ideal fit , we've got word now of a new playoff contender that has some interest. Elliotte Friedman revealed on Hockey Night in Canada that the Anaheim Ducks are now looking at the Oilers forward who is in Year 1 of a two-year, $3.6 million dea...

The Flyers kicked off their slate of games in this new calendar year yesterday afternoon in Edmonton, and after a pretty abysmal showing in their final game of 2025, they were looking to rebound in a big way. It wasn’t going to be easy, facing off against the top team in the Pacific division and the best player in the game, but the Flyers were able to deliver quite a balanced effort and a largely responsible way, on the way to a commanding 5-2 win over the Oilers. It was a game in which, ...

After 42 games, the Edmonton Oilers possess a record of 20-16-6. While there have been some bright spots this season, it’s fair to say the Oilers’ performance in the 2025-26 NHL season thus far has been below expectations. As the Oilers enter the second half of the campaign, here are four key stats that I…

The Edmonton Oilers are almost back to full health, and with that, a lot of moves have been made with more to come. Kasperi Kapanen, the last injured forward, is about to return to action, so one more forward will have to be sent down or moved out. Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson were just recalled after continuously dominating the AHL, so there's no reason why they shouldn't stick around. The depth veterans on the Oilers are more of the problem, but players like Adam Henrique and Trent Frederic...

The Edmonton Oilers didn’t have anything close to their best when they fell to the Bruins on Thursday night, which made Saturday’s matinee against the Philadelphia Flyers all the more important. Put another way, the Oilers haven’t played their best since coming back from the Christmas break, and it was going to take a lot…

The Philadelphia Flyers were full marks on Saturday afternoon as Denver Barkey scored his first National Hockey League goal in a 5-2 victory over the host (and highly-talented) Edmonton Oilers. The win left the Flyers splitting their West Coast trek with two wins and two losses. The Basics First period: 7:16- Denver Barkey (Owen Tippett, Sean Couturier), 10:31- Travis Sanheim (Unassisted), 14:38- Bobby Brink (Cam York, Matvei Michkov), 16:08- Connor McDavid (Mattias Ekholm) Second pe...

The Winnipeg Jets are in the throes of an ugly eight-game losing streak, plunging them to the very bottom of the Western Conference standings. This, from a team that won the Presidents' Trophy last season with the best record in the NHL. But if they're not ready to throw in the towel, there are some things the Jets could look to fix. Like the desperate need for some scoring—any kind of scoring—outside of their top line. The Edmonton Oilers happen to have a guy like that who has fallen ou...

Death, taxes and the Edmonton Oilers struggling in matinee games. The Oilers welcomed the Philadelphia Flyers to Rogers Place on Saturday afternoon for Game 42, officially kicking off the second half of their season. But much like the Oilers started the first half, they were flat, falling 5-2. Matinees haven’t been kind to the Oilers…

Denver Barkey is on the board. The Philadelphia Flyers rookie has provided some energy and solid two-way play in his short time in the NHL, but he only had two assists — both recorded in his debut at Madison Square Garden — to show for it. That changed on Saturday afternoon in Edmonton. After some early pressure by the Oilers, it was Barkey who settled things down and opened the scoring in Edmonton. The 20-year-old winger started the breakout in his own end and dashed down the c...

The Edmonton Oilers are trying something interesting. Head coach Kris Knoblauch has put together a third line of three rookies: Quinn Hutson, Matthew Savoie, and Isaac Howard. It’s the kind of move that generates buzz, and understandably so—these guys can all play. Howard sounds pretty pumped about the opportunity, and his enthusiasm hints at why…
