Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid believes his team is ramping up and they will be playing their best hockey when the playoffs begin on April 18. If actions speak louder than words, McDavid’s performance last night in San Jose suggested he could be right. McDavid dominated the Sharks offensively, while his teammates suffocated the Sharks…

On Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers‘ American Hockey League affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, announced that the team has signed college free agent defenceman Samuel Sjolund to a one-year minor-league contract for the 206-27 season.

The Oilers took care of business in San Jose on Wednesday, snapping a two-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory. After Macklin Celebrini opened the scoring for the Sharks four minutes into the first period, Connor McDavid took over. Edmonton’s captain scored three times and added two assists, factoring in all five goals for the…
After letting one get away in Utah, you had to wonder how much gas the Oilers would have left for the second half of a back-to-back in San Jose, and it didn’t take long to get your answer. The boys looked like a team annoyed by what happened the night before, and they hit the…
The San Jose Sharks fell to Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers tonight, putting a serious crimp in the Sharks’ hopes for a potential trip to the playoffs. McDavid did what big players do in games like these, he put the team on his back and carried them over the finish line. Number 97 factored into all five goals in the Oilers’ 5-2 win over the Sharks and registered a hat trick. With the regulation win, the Oilers move into sole possession of the top spot in the Pacific Division. Meant...
The Edmonton Oilers are right back in the win column after a disappointing defeat on Tuesday. Wednesday saw the Oilers play the second game of a back-to-back, this time taking on the San Jose Sharks. They defeated the young team 5-2 to bring them to 90 points this season. It was pure domination by the…
The Edmonton Oilers come to San Jose tonight, looking to put a bow on the season series and get one step closer to locking up a spot in the playoffs. The Oilers have won two of the three games against the Sharks this season, outscoring San Jose 14-10. Of course, the Pacific Division is anyone’s race at this point in time. While the Oilers currently lead with 88 points, the Vegas Golden Knights also have 88 and Anaheim is one point behind both teams. None of those three teams have the Pacific D...
The Edmonton Oilers are right back at it tonight in San Jose, and after the way things ended in Utah, there really isn’t any time left for missed opportunities and mistakes. Losing 6-5 in overtime to the Mammoth after holding three separate leads is the kind of result that should leave a bad taste in…
After a frustrating 6-5 overtime loss in Utah on Tuesday, the Oilers are right back in action on Wednesday in San Jose, looking to regroup on the second half of a back-to-back. They’ll be facing a Sharks team that has won five of its last six after a six-game losing streak in March. With Edmonton…
A pair of Edmonton Oilers prospects are taking their talents to sunny Southern California. William Nicholl and Tommy Lafrenière have signed amateur tryouts with the Condors, the club announced Wednesday. Nicholl will wear No. 56 while Lafreniere will wear No. 54.

It wasn’t a pretty week for the Bakersfield Condors. Entering April on a high after winning three straight, the Condors are now losers of their last three games. In the three games Bakersfield lost, they allowed 17 goals against, which is an easy recipe for disaster, and the offence wasn’t much better. The Condors scored…
Connor Ingram has been named as the Edmonton Oilers’ nominee for the 2026 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The 29-year-old goaltender was voted as the team’s nominee by the Professional Hockey Writers Association chapter in Edmonton.

On the one hand, the Edmonton Oilers got a point, showing some resilience despite being outshot and outchanced by the Utah Mammoth. On the other hand, the Oilers squandered three leads, struggled to break out of their zone, and seemed far too loose for a team readying itself for the playoffs. The game was a…
With the Vancouver Canucks rebuilding, it is unlikely that forward Evander Kane will be back with them next season. The 34-year-old winger is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) and should generate interest if he hits the market. Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to sign Kane this summer. Tampa Bay Lightning The Lightning should be looking to add to their forward depth this offseason. Their bottom six could use a boost, and Kane would provide the...
After putting together a season-high five-game winning streak, the Oilers have now dropped back-to-back games, surrendering 11 goals in the process.

After having their winning streak snapped by Vegas on Saturday at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers kicked off their road trip in Utah for the first half of a back-to-back set. Losing a divisional game in regulation like that was tough, and life wasn’t going to get any easier against the surging Mammoth. So, it…
That was a pretty brutal game by the Edmonton Oilers. On Tuesday evening, they began a three-game road trip, with their first stop in Salt Lake City to face the Utah Mammoth. After blowing three leads in the second half of the game, the Mammoth found a way to win in overtime. Let’s take a…
And then there were five… The Edmonton Oilers’ playoff position appears all but official at this point, and now, it’s more or less a matter of where they’re seeded for the postseason dance. They enter Tuesday night’s game against the Utah Mammoth. Despite playing a team from the Central Division, tonight could have a big…

The Oilers are in control of their destiny with five games remaining in the regular season. A strong finish could result in Edmonton’s first division title since the 1980s, while a stumble could send them on the road for the first round of the playoffs. This sprint for seeding in the Pacific Division begins against…
This spot seems eerily similar for the Edmonton Oilers. Exactly two weeks ago, the Oilers visited the Utah Mammoth fresh off a home Saturday night loss where the team didn’t really have it. At that time, the Oilers were third in the Pacific Division. Vibes were low. Fast forward a fortnight, and the Oilers have…
The return of the Edmonton Oilers‘ second-best player isn’t etched into stone. Head coach Kris Knoblauch softened on Leon Draisaitl being ready for the first game of the postseason when talking to reporters on Monday. The situation is very fluid, with his exact return uncertain, the coach detailed. “Leon is going to be on the…
It appears that the Edmonton Oilers aren’t done looking for young players overseas. On Monday afternoon, hockey insider Frank Seravalli reported that the Oilers are the favourite to land German right-winger Veit Oswald, who played the 2025-26 season with Deutsche Eishockey Liga’s EHC Red Bull München. Two undrafted free agents generating #NHL interest: > RW…
The Edmonton Oilers can rely on Connor McDavid to dominate for 22 minutes per night, but that alone isn’t enough to win a Stanley Cup. It’s whether they can limit the damage in the non-McDavid minutes that ultimately determines their ceiling. For months, depth issues defined their 2025-26 season, but lately, they’ve shown significant progress. …
