That Was Quick
I originally wrote the title of Saturday's article about Steve Oleksy as a joke because I couldn't see any way that Oleksy was trying to come back to hockey after walking away in 2023. As you can see to the left, that comeback ended two days and two games after signing a deal with the Icemen as Jacksonville released Oleksy on Sunday before heading to Atlanta for the third game in three days against the Gladiators. And with that, it's back to family life for Steve, it seems. After Jacksonvil...
Oilers prospect David Lewandowski named to Team Germany’s preliminary roster for upcoming WJC
It appears at least one Edmonton Oilers’ prospect will participate in the 2026 World Juniors. Toward the end of November, Team Germany released their preliminary roster for the coming tournament. Oilers’ fourth-round pick, David Lewandowski, was on the roster and is expected to make the team. Die Mannschaft um U20-Bundestrainer Tobias Abstreiter startet in wenigen…
Oilers rumours: Potential trade for Tristan Jarry wouldn’t include Skinner, Penguins ‘absolutely unwilling’ to retain salary
The Edmonton Oilers’ search for a goaltender nearly landed them Tristan Jarry netminder. But while rumours have swirled that the deal would send Stuart Skinner the other way, that doesn’t appear to be the case. In fact, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday’s edition of the 32 Thoughts podcast that the Oilers have been looking to pair…
Monday Musings: Arrows Up for Oilers, Pacific Division Race and Injury Updates
It took longer than they wanted, but the Edmonton Oilers seem to have found their collective stride. A mixture of rest, practice time and increased attention to detail has led to three wins in their last four games and improvements in every area of their game. Edmonton scored first in only nine of its first…
Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck skates for first time since having knee procedure
"When you start seeing him in practice, then we'll have a conversation" said head coach Scott Arniel.
The World of Warcraft and Oilers crossover was something I never expected
It’s not often that when you attend an Edmonton Oilers game, the organization does a cross-promotion with a video game. In the past, the Oilers have had advertising for the latest Call of Duty or NHL title. On Saturday night, however, it was World of Warcraft that was centre stage, with the game’s next expansion,…
Oilers Thoughts: Nugent-Hopkins a special teams ace, Skinner shines amid trade talk, can Frederic build on last game, & more
With the holiday season around the corner, many households are firing up Will Ferrell’s Elf to get into the holiday spirit. But when I think about where the Edmonton Oilers are trending, I’m thinking more about Ferrell’s other big movie, Old School and more specifically about the line where he says, “We’re going streaking!” The…

First ever NHL recall for the goalie prospect.
Never mind the water — there’s something in the Oilers’ new alternate jerseys
There’s an argument to be made that the Edmonton Oilers should never take off their new cream-coloured alternate jerseys. They should wear them in the rink, wear them in the gym, and wear them at the grocery store. Because never mind there being something in the water in Edmonton: there’s something in those jerseys. The…

Monday Mailbag: How can the Oilers get more offence from their bottom six?
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the bottom six, Matt Savoie’s season so far, Vasily Podkolzin, and more. If you’ve got a…

Penn State Working to Find Its Ceiling During 42-Day Layoff
Penn State has had eyes on its team since April, when it made the Frozen Four for the first time in program history. Those eyes increased as the offseason went on, and the anticipation heading into the 2025-26 season was the highest it’s been in the team’s 14-year history...
The Rundown - Week 10
Officially, we're ten weeks into the season and all nine teams are going on break for the next month as players, coaches, and staff get set for exams, holidays, and travel as many players will be returning to their homes once exams are completed. This week will also see each team officially cross the halfway wark of the season with six teams having played 18 games and three teams sitting at 16 games played. That means every game on the new calendar is that much more important for playoff posit...

Recap of the game.
Sunday Scramble: Oilers process continues to build 5-on-5 offence, the Tristan Jarry rumours and more
It’s amazing what practice will do for a hockey team. You’d be tempted to say that practice may be overrated for a team that went to the championship twice in a row. But the Edmonton Oilers are prime evidence that sleeping in your own bed, getting into a practice routine, and playing in front of…
The Oilers’ depth has stepped up recently
Fans have come to expect sleepy Octobers from the Edmonton Oilers, but this year felt different. The slump dragged on, the underlying numbers cratered, and the bottom six were getting demolished. It was a bigger mess to clean up than the PDO-driven starts that have plagued Edmonton in the past few seasons. Fortunately for the…
Why the Oilers might have a hidden gem in Connor Clattenburg
With the Edmonton Oilers lacking a physical presence and Noah Philp landing on the Long-Term Injured Reserve, the team called up left winger Connor Clattenberg. He was been making a name for himself in Bakersfield in his first full time rookie pro season with the Condors, playing a mere 16 AHL games prior to his…
Matt Savoie scores again, depth goals, and Oilers’ third jerseys might be blessed by the Hockey Gods
The Oilers stomped the Kraken 9-4 on Thursday night for their first runaway offensive outing of the season, and I think we were all hopeful it was a sign the team was finally turning a corner. As annoying as October and November were to re-live for the third straight year, Edmonton is starting to look…
Today In NHL History - Roy Trade (MTL-COL)
On December 6th in 1995, the Montreal Canadiens traded Patrick Roy and team captain Mike Keane to the Colorado Avalanche for Jocelyn Thibault, Martin Rucinsky and Andrei Kovalenko in what remains one of the most lopsided exchanges in league history. The seeds of the move were sewn on December 2, 1995 during a franchise worst 11-1 home loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Allowing five goals in the
