The veteran journalist shares his insight.
As we all get excited for best-on-best Olympic hockey, an under-the-radar bombshell dropped on hockey fans Tuesday. The rink is going to be smaller by a whole three to four feet compared to NHL dimensions. Forget Olympic ice, going to be bigger — it’s going to be smaller! According to The Athletic: “The International Ice…
Nothing has come easily for the Edmonton Oilers this season. They’ve yet to win more than two games in a row, and one could argue they struggled to play even two consecutive solid games in a row, until their last two against Seattle and Minnesota. I understand a team would rather win and play poorly…
Public enemy No. 1 from last Saturday’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Seattle Kraken won’t be in the lineup for the rematch. Kraken forward Mason Marchment found himself under the skin of the Oilers after laying a late, blindside hit on Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse late in the first period. Marchment was challenged by…
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.

If you’re an Edmonton Oilers fan who’s glued to the internet, you may have heard that the team could’ve drafted Jesper Wallstedt in 2021. Fans of the team have been reminded of it repeatedly over the past few weeks, as the young goaltender has had a strong start to his early NHL career for the…
Latest on number 37.
Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap to the other guy for a job well done. That seems to be the case for the Edmonton Oilers, who played a strong game on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Wild but fell 1-0 because nothing is getting past Jesper Wallstedt right now. The 20th overall pick…
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The Oilers had a fantastic afternoon in Seattle on Saturday, and that 4-0 shutout was probably their most complete effort at both ends of the rink that we’ve seen in a month or more. Now that the boys have a run of home games in front of them, we were all looking for them to…
We’ve seen some rough showings at home from the Edmonton Oilers early this season. In the span of a couple of weeks, they’ve taken a 9-1 loss to Colorado and an 8-3 drubbing from Dallas. Those games are hard to watch, and they are even harder to be a part of if you are in…

Notre Dame has added one of the USHL’s top young players to its future plans, as the Fighting Irish received a commitment from Braiden Scuderi Wednesday evening...
It was the most obvious shutout in NHL history. You could see it coming a mile away. Four years after the Edmonton Oilers passed on drafting him in the first round, Jesper Wallstedt made them pay, stopping all 33 shots he faced in the Minnesota Wild’s 1-0 win Tuesday night. Wallstedt was nothing short of…
Full marks to anyone who can identify the goaltender in question to the left. He played his last professional game in the ECHL during the 2023-24 season, but it appears he's trying to gain employment in that league again. If you're wondering, he's a former NHL netminder who played for three teams, but has just 40 games to his name despite those three stops. The 32 year-old was drafted 190th-overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, he won an AHL Calder Cup championship in 2017-18, and he's one of 2...
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Oilers’ upcoming home stand, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ return, Connor Clattenburg sticking with the big club, and much more. We kicked off the…
The path to success isn’t smooth or without obstacles, but there is one must-have ingredient if you hope to reach your goal. “Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.” – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. “It’s not all about talent. It’s about dependability, consistency, and being…
The Edmonton Oilers host the Minnesota Wild tonight at Rogers Place, and here’s the simple truth: this is a casually quiet must-win game. Not because everything falls apart if they don’t. But because beating good teams at home is what playoff teams do. And Minnesota is playing excellent hockey right now. The Wild went 11-1-2…
Director of Scouting Craig Button shares his thoughts.
Before the Jets returned, the Moose were the local team that inspired young Winnipeg players to dream big.
The Edmonton Oilers’ arduous start to the season has seen them sputter to a 11-10-5 record through their first 26 games — a start that the writers at Daily Faceoff are none too impressed with. In their weekly power rankings, done by Scott Maxwell and Hunter Crowther, the Oilers came in 22nd, climbing one spot…
The Minnesota Wild won’t be beat in regulation, and they are arguably the league’s top story right now. Following a tragic start to this season, where they won just three of their first dozen games, the group seemed mired by the massive contract extension to Kirill Kaprizov. Now? The Wild haven’t lost in regulation since…
On Monday, USA Hockey released their preliminary roster for the upcoming edition of the IIHF World Junior Championship. Named as one of 10 defenders selected is Edmonton Oilers’ prospect Asher Barnett. One step closer to Minnesota
