Upcoming Radio Events
If there's one thing that I enjoy more than anything when doing radio, it's participating at live events. Live radio has a certain unpredictability to it that is unlike anything else except for live television, and it's that unpredictability that makes covering events a bit of a thrill. It is with great honour that UMFM has been invited to cover the 2026 Female World Sport School Challenge once again, and we are proud to working with the great people at Balmoral Hall School to bring these broa...

Oilersnation Radio: Have the Oilers solved their goaltending issue?
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 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ 1000th game, back-to-back shutouts, Kasperi Kapanen’s injury, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a…

NHL trade rumours: Canucks could trade Elias Pettersson before Olympic break
While we’re less than two months away from the NHL Trade Deadline, one of the game’s most skilled players might be on the move in the near future.

Scenes From Morning Skate: Kapanen can’t catch a break as Oilers roll 7 defenceman against Devils
The Edmonton Oilers will roll seven defensemen against the New Jersey Devils, and it’s not by choice. With Kasperi Kapanen injured again and Leon Draisaitl tending to a personal family matter in Germany, the Oilers have no cap space to call anyone up from Bakersfield. So instead of a balanced lineup, they’re patching things together…
Top 100 Oilers: No. 55 — Fernando Pisani

He was ranked No. 55 on Brownlee’s original list. Fernando Pisani is mainly remembered for one thing in his tenure…
Pre-Scout: Devils finish back-to-back against Oilers after OT win
While the Edmonton Oilers‘ cushy homestand started with a bang on Sunday night against the St. Louis Blues in a 5-0 walloping, this week’s three games are all against teams that played the Calgary Flames the night before.

NHL News: Golden Knights acquire Rasmus Andersson, Panthers to activate Matthew Tkachuk, and more
We’ve got ourselves a couple of trades between Pacific Division rivals. On Sunday, the Calgary Flames dealt defenceman Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for defenseman Zach Whitecloud, defence prospect Abram Wiebe, a 2027 first-round pick, and a conditional 2027 second-round pick. The second-round pick will become a first-round selection if the…
Monday Scramble: The Oilers need to decide on a goalie for forward flexibility
How long can Stan Bowman continue the three-goalie charade while forwards are required? That’s the biggest question coming out of the week that was in Oilersnation, a week that all things considered, fared better than I expected (my lowly prediction was 2-2-1 after all). Connor Ingram has shattered any doubt in his ability to…

Monday Musings: Oilers Shutouts, Hyman and RNH’s Impacts, and some Trade Talk
The Edmonton Oilers finished a five-game-in-seven-day trek in style with back-to-back shutouts over Vancouver and St. Louis. The Oilers won 6-0 in Vancouver on Saturday and 5-0 at home last night. It was only the third time in franchise history that they posted consecutive shutouts by different goalies. Tristan Jarry stopped all 31 shots in…
Curtis Lazar has earned an everyday role for the Oilers
This summer, the Edmonton Oilers parted ways with several veteran bottom-six forwards and acquired younger replacements. Andrew Mangiapane and Jack Roslovic carried the most name value out of the new additions, and David Tomášek provided plenty of intrigue coming off a big year in Sweden. A player who might’ve gone under the radar amongst all…
The Day After 50.0: Oilers dominant in both games of weekend back-to-back
For the ninth time this season, the Edmonton Oilers are on a two-game winning streak. Not once have they managed to stretch one of these streaks to three games during the 2025-26 season, but this looks like a prime opportunity. The Oilers were dominant in both legs of last weekend’s back-to-back, first winning by a…
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scores game-winner on his big night, Connor Ingram’s shutout, and Zach Hyman
After beating the wheels off the Canucks on Saturday night, the Edmonton Oilers were back at Rogers Place Sunday to take on the St. Louis Blues in an attempt to finally sweep a back-to-back set. They did exactly that, blanking the Blues 5-0 in a game that never really felt close once things got going….

NHL weekend rankings: On the Bruins, the Flyers, and a sternly worded letter
Many times, an NHL season comes to be defined by the dominance of a select group. Sometimes, it’s the Year of the Goaltenders. Others, it might be the snipers who take over. In the first half, this looked like it would be a changing of the guard season . But now, a new contender emerges. Hockey fans, welcome to the Year of the PR Department Statement. It started last week, when the Senators declared war on the trolls and sick people . This week, it was the Ranger, doing what they do best: Writ...
