Flashback Friday: Looking at Kailer Yamamoto’s career before and after leaving the Oilers
It feels like just yesterday that the Edmonton Oilers drafted Kailer Yamamoto back in 2017. Nearly a decade later, the Spokane, Wash., product has carved out a role in the National Hockey League for a handful of teams. His past three seasons have been spent with the Utah Mammoth, where he picked up his third…
Oilers should split up McDavid and Draisaitl, at least until Nuge returns
Reinforcements are on the way for the Edmonton Oilers, with Zach Hyman returning to the lineup tomorrow along with anticipated returns for Colton Dach and Jake Walman. It’s some welcome news. Without looking under the hood, the Oilers are 5-1-1 after sweeping a California road trip, doing enough against the LA Kings, but eventually getting that first…

The Edmonton Oilers finally have some encouraging injury news. According to Daily Faceoff Edmonton’s Jason Gregor, familiar faces are set to return from injury. Zach Hyman will play his second game of the season against the Utah Mammoth on Saturday night, while Colton Dach and Jake Walman are also “very likely” to play. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins…
Oilers’ new identity: Edmonton embraces Blue Collar Boys style of play
Somewhere in Edmonton, there’s a shiny sports car for sale because the organization traded it in for a pickup truck. Remember when high-vis vests were draped over the seats at Rogers Place on opening night? That wasn’t by accident; the high-flying Edmonton Oilers have become the Blue Collar Boys. Yesterday, Connor McDavid described the Oilers’…
Oilers defenceman Jake Walman set to appear on ‘The Price is Right Tonight’
The Edmonton Oilers won’t be in action this coming Monday. So if you need something to do, why not check out Jake Walman on The Price is Right Tonight? According to the National Hockey League’s X account, the Oilers’ defenceman will be one of four current NHLers on Monday’s edition of the show. The episode…
Oilers undermanned against Utah, trench warfare, and the referees take night off
The Edmonton Oilers returned home Thursday after a successful road trip to play the Utah Mammoth. Edmonton was 5-0-1 going into the matchup and 5-0-1 lifetime against their opponents. However, the Mammoth prevailed 4-2 for their first-ever win in the Alberta capital. It was a surprisingly physical affair, and the rematch will be eagerly anticipated….
The Day After 7.0: ‘Freebie’ goal costs Oilers in loss to Mammoth
The Edmonton Oilers won’t be pushed around. In some circumstances, that is. They showed their moxie on Thursday night, refusing to let the Utah Mammoth take shots on their top players. It resulted in more than a few scrums throughout the night, but where the Oilers couldn’t push back was defensively, leading to the team…
Instant Reaction: Oilers lose in regulation for first time, fall 4-2 to Mammoth
A loss in regulation had to come eventually. On Thursday evening, the Edmonton Oilers finally lost a game in regulation, falling 4-2 to the Utah Mammoth to bring their season record to 5-1-1. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. The Mammoth opened the scoring midway through the first period. On…
Oilers injury update: Dickinson leaves morning skate early, status in doubt vs. Mammoth
Jason Dickinson limped off the ice during the Edmonton Oilers’ morning skate on Thursday. The Oilers veteran centre has played three games so far this season, with one assist, but his minutes are still sheltered compared to a year ago. He is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered at the tail end of 2025-26….
GDB 7.0: Oilers face their toughest test of the season against Mammoth (7 PM MT, SNW)
The Edmonton Oilers play their first non-Pacific Division opponent tonight, the Utah Mammoth, and many around the NHL are wondering if the Oilers’ 5-0-1 start is due to playing six teams from the Pacific. It is a fair question considering how they fared against teams in the other three divisions last season. The Oilers were…
5 things to watch in the Oilers home and home against the Mammoth
The Edmonton Oilers round out the week with a home-and-home series against the Utah Mammoth. With UFC Fight Night scheduled for Saturday night at Rogers Place, the series will start in Edmonton on Thursday before sending the Oilers out for a one-game road trip to Utah for the rematch. Even without UFC, the trip’s logistics…
The Oilers are off to a great start: Now the schedule gets tougher
The Edmonton Oilers are on a roll. They’ve had their best start since the mid-80s at 5-0-1. After a couple of shaky defensive performances, they’ve been playing shutdown hockey under Mike Babcock. It hasn’t always been pretty, but winning while learning is a good sign. Even without several key players, they’re still finding success. Zach…
Pre-Scout: Top guns, depth cast, and a Mammoth test for red-hot Edmonton Oilers
If this start to the Edmonton Oilers season were a Tom Cruise movie, it would be Top Gun. Sitting first in the NHL in points percentage and winning five in a row, the Oilers’ top guns have had the need — the need for speed. It’s fresh and doesn’t feel like a sequel, as a…
NHL Notebook: Red Wings ink potential Oilers trade target Alex DeBrincat to 7-year deal
Cross one potential trade target for the Edmonton Oilers off the list. The Detroit Red Wings have gotten a piece of business done — not a Dylan Larkin trade or a Simon Edvinsson move, mind you — signing winger Alex DeBrincat to a seven-year contract extension. Playing out the final year of a four-year, $7.875…
McDavid continues to climb all-time scoring charts in dominant start to season
A rested and determined Connor McDavid is a nightmare for opposing NHL teams and a joy to behold for Edmonton Oilers fans. McDavid tallied his 50th four-point game last night, becoming only the ninth player in NHL history to reach that mark, and he did it in his 800th NHL game. His ascent up the…
Oilers Prospect Update: Top line thrives, but Condors’ depth tested in weekend split
Another weekend of games results in a split. During Thanksgiving weekend, the Bakersfield Condors and Calgary Wranglers squared off at the Saddledome for two games. The Wranglers won the first game 2-1, and the Condors answered back with a 5-4 win. Although they got a win with five goals (on 26 shots) and have a…
The Connor McDavid show, Devon Levi was sensational, and the Oilers win ugly in L.A.
The Edmonton Oilers were in Los Angeles on Tuesday and looking to sweep their California road trip after locking in wins in Anaheim and San Jose. And while the 4-1 win over the Kings wasn’t nearly as surgical as we saw in from the Oilers in their first two stops on this trip, sometimes having…
The Day After 6.0: Oilers building the right way as McDavid dominates 800th game
On a night when he celebrated — and I use that term lightly — his 800th NHL game, Connor McDavid put on another show, contributing to all four Edmonton Oilers in a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings. It was an assist from McDavid that got things going seven minutes into the game, sending…
Instant Reaction: Oilers sweep California road trip with 4-1 win over Kings
It’s nice to be on the other end of a stellar goaltender performance. On Tuesday evening, the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-1 to move their season record to 5-0-1. It was their fifth consecutive win, and they remain the lone team in the National Hockey League to have not suffered a regulation…
Oilers’ Connor McDavid plays in 800th NHL game
Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid hit the ice for his 800th career NHL game Tuesday night, becoming the seventh player in franchise history to reach the mark. He trails only Glenn Anderson, Mark Messier, Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Smyth, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Kevin Lowe in franchise games played. By season’s end, if McDavid plays all 84…
ONR: Oilers look to extend winning streak with first matchup against the Kings
It’s Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of ONR is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ 3-1 win over the Sharks, Connor McDavid’s TOI, looked at Tuesday’s matchup against the Kings, line combinations, and more. We kicked off the Tuesday…
Oilers injury update: Hyman ‘really close’ to returning but out vs. Kings
Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman isn’t quite ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Kings. “They told me he’s not playing tonight,” said head coach Mike Babcock after morning skate. “It sounds like it’s day-to-day. We sure thought…it’s really close, I guess. But what does that mean?” It means…
GDB 6.0: McDavid’s 800th game milestone and the PK figuring things out (8:30 pm MT, SN1)
Connor McDavid will skate in his 800th regular-season game tonight. Since entering the NHL in October 2015, McDavid has dominated the NHL better than anyone other than Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. McDavid has scored 412 goals, 821 assists for 1,233 points in 799 games. Leon Draisaitl is second in league scoring since McDavid arrived…
Pre-Scout: Oilers can sweep road trip against winless Los Angeles Kings
The Edmonton Oilers have three lines abiding by the axiom that it isn’t about the shots you make, but what you leave. And it’s working. Part of the reason it’s working is that the Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Vasily Podkolzin line is producing together at beyond elite levels. In 53 minutes together at five-on-five,…

The Edmonton Oilers are on the rise. That’s according to Daily Faceoff’s latest weekly NHL power rankings, which slotted the Oilers as the third-best team in the league, a rise from the seventh spot they held last week.
