Latest news and updates about the Oilers
On Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers traded Brett Kulak in a package to land Tristan Jarry. It’s certainly a bittersweet trade. As frustrating as Stuart Skinner was at times, he was still an incredibly likable player who was great at his best, as well as durable. Kulak was a cap casualty and replaced by a…
The Edmonton Oilers have made a trade to change up their goaltending tandem. On Friday morning, the Oilers traded Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin. In a separate move, the Oilers traded a 2027 third-rounder to the Nashville Predators for Spencer Stastney….
The Edmonton Oilers finally made a goalie change by bringing in Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins and trading Stuart Skinner. But this was the better of the two goalies who have served in the Oilers' net over the past three seasons. That means now that the band-aid has been torn off with Skinner, the worst of the goalies, Calvin Pickard, is next to go and something will happen, possibly sooner than later. Elliotte Friedman said, "The Oilers poked around Alex Lyon...It wasn't as seriou...

This isn’t the first time the Edmonton Oilers have given up on a 27-year-old goaltender. On Friday morning, the Oilers sent Stuart Skinner (along with Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick) to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin. In my eyes, this is a lateral move in terms of skill, with…
Tristan Jarry wasn’t the only goalie the Edmonton Oilers were interested in. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman’s 32 Thoughts blog, posted Thursday night before the Jarry acquisition Friday morning, general manager Stan Bowman was looking at one of the Buffalo Sabres netminders — Alex Lyon. “In addition to Tristan Jarry, I believe the Oilers poked…
There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and the Kris Knoblauch line blender. And boy, was it out in full force early on this season. As the early parts of the Edmonton Oilers’ season slogged on, amid a myriad of injuries, it seemed as though every game brought a new lineup. It was exhausting…
Stuart Skinner spent eight seasons in the Edmonton Oilers organization. He was thrust into the starting role in the 2022-23 season after only playing 14 games as a backup in 2021 and 2022. Heck, he played six playoff games in 2022 with only 14 regular season games under his belt. He did it in hometown…
As the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins swapped goaltenders on Friday morning, questions loomed over the status of current Oilers backup Calvin Pickard. Tristan Jarry enters Edmonton as the team’s new starting goaltender, acquired for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2nd round pick in 2029. But backup netminder Calvin Pickard has struggled mightily this…
Stan Bowman has swung the bat. Will it be a single? A double? Or did he just hit a grand slam? That all will depend on how Tristan Jarry plays for the Edmonton Oilers over the remaining three years on his contract. But what drew Stan Bowman and the Oilers to acquiring Jarry in a…
The Edmonton Oilers had a very busy morning by making two trades to finally address goaltending. Regardless of how many seem to be feeling and overreacting to the Oilers acquiring Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins , they have also struck a deal with the Nashville Predators to acquire Spencer Stastney, a young defenseman. The Oilers traded Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick to the Penguins for Jarry and Samuel Poulin, so they brought in a starter with a .909 career SV% a...
We've been hearing the rumors for weeks now. The Edmonton Oilers were talking about acquiring veteran goaltender Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins . But neither team seemed ready to pull the trigger. Finally, that shot has been fired, and Jarry is an Oiler. Hearing the #oilers are sending Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak and a 2nd-round pick to Pittsburgh in this Tristan Jarry trade. — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) December 12, 2025 The Oilers also sent defenseman Brett Kulak...
The Edmonton Oilers were tight-lipped about their trade plans. Earlier this week, Oilers CEO Jeff Jackson said the Oilers were “going to sit tight,” only for a few days later to to pull the trigger on two trades. One involved Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick in 2029 being sent to the…

The Stuart Skinner era in Edmonton is over. The Edmonton Oilers traded the goaltender to the Pittsburgh Penguins alongside Brett Kulak and a second-round pick in the 2029 draft in exchange for goaltender Tristan Jarry, and forward Samuel Poulin. The deal came as somewhat of a surprise Friday morning, as recent reports suggested the Oilers…
During the 2024-25 season, not too far from this point in the season, any team in the NHL could have had Tristan Jarry and his contract for free. Given up no assets. Traded nothing. Just taken him off the waiver wire. Nobody would bite. On Friday, the Edmonton Oilers not only took on Tristan Jarry’s […]
Buckle up, folks. The Pittsburgh Penguins are reportedly trading goalie Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers. Elliotte Friedman was first to the case. Pierre Lebrun added in more confirmation. Obviously much more to come as news comes in for this developing story.
After laying an egg for 40 minutes against Buffalo and costing themselves the chance at a second point, the Edmonton Oilers were back in action for a rematch against the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings took the first game 4-2 back in October, and there was no better time than a frosty Thursday night in…
Through 31 games in the 2025-26 season, it hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows for the Edmonton Oilers. They occupy the top Wild Card spot with a 14-11-6 record and 34 points. It’s as if they turned a corner, but then they had a rough game on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, needing a third-period…

With the win, the Oilers remain in a playoff position. The first 10 minutes of the opening flew by with…
The Edmonton Oilers made a slew of roster moves Thursday, recalling one and placing three on various injured reserves. The first move saw the team recall forward Max Jones from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors. Acquired ahead of last year’s trade deadline from the Boston Bruins, Jones, 27, appeared in 19 games for the Oilers last…
A victory tonight would make this five-game homestand a success for the Edmonton Oilers. They’d be 3-1-1 with a .600 winning percentage and .700 points percentage on this homestand. Currently, only three NHL teams have higher win percentages, and only three have a higher points percentage on home ice. The loss to the Buffalo Sabres…
The Edmonton Oilers host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. The same Red Wings who are coming off a 4-3 win in Calgary. The same guys who played last night then travelled to Edmonton, only to play again tonight. Sound familiar? That’s because on Tuesday night, the Oilers faced Buffalo in the exact same…
It’s been a rough month to be Trent Frederic’s face. First, he got the rough end of Mathieu Oliver’s fists during a Nov. 10th fight when Frederic took on pound-for-pound toughest player in the league, getting a black eye in the process. Then, during Wednesday’s practice ahead of Thursday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings,…
