Ask Dubey: Knoblauch on the hot seat? Skinner’s biggest weakness?
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…

Jesper Wallstedt makes Oilers pay posting 33-save shutout in 1-0 Wild win: Recap, Reaction and Highlights
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…
Picking Up Odd Jobs
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...

GDB 27.0: Oilers Still Searching for Consistency (7 PM MT, SN1)
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…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers get first look at Jesper Wallstedt as Wild roll into town
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…

NHL Notebook: Oilers sit 22nd in Daily Faceoff power rankings
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.

Pre-Scout: Minnesota Wild are arguably the hottest team in the NHL right now
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…

It seems the Oilers…
Can Stuart Skinner bounce back for the Oilers again?
Stuart Skinner’s career with the Edmonton Oilers has been a roller coaster, from the soaring highs of a 16-game winning streak to the crushing lows of losing the net in the postseason.
