Andrew Mangiapane is drawing into the Edmonton Oilers lineup tonight, replacing Curtis Lazar. And if you’re an Oilers fan reading that sentence, you’re probably groaning. If you’re a player in that locker room, you might be doing the same. This is a begrudging pill to swallow. Lazar’s been playing well. He’s embraced the fourth-line minutes,…

The Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs only play each other twice a year.

Multiple top-nine forwards left the Edmonton Oilers organization this past summer, with names such as Connor Brown, Corey Perry, Viktor Arvidsson, Jeff Skinner, and more.
