Pre-Scout: Predators charging up standings with Stamkos’ scoring
The Nashville Predators are lurking. If you don’t look at the NHL standings too often, walking into this Edmonton Oilers and Predators matchup, you’d think – finally, a soft spot in the schedule.

Monday Musings: Oilers need to fix their defensive issues and a look at the Turtle Division
The Edmonton Oilers started the second half of the season like they started the first half — with a home loss. With 40 games remaining, the Oilers, like most of their opponents, are still looking for some consistency. They’ve yet to win three games in a row, and if St. Louis wins in Chicago on…

Why it was time for the Oilers to recall Howard and Hutson
The Oilers have completely turned around their season from the previous calendar year. They’re sitting in a good spot right now, 6-4-0 in their last 10 and having lost only four games all season at home in Rogers Place. Most importantly, they’re leading the division, albeit only by a single point, as Vegas and Anaheim…

Checking in with the Oilers’ defensive core at the halfway point
Coming into the season, one of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest perceived strengths was their defensive core. Edmonton’s depth on the back end was a huge reason why they got to a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final last spring. The ability to play Jake Walman in softer matchups gave their bottom six a puck-moving edge that…

Today In NHL History - Downie Punches Blake
On January 5th in 2008, Philadelphia Flyers forward Steve Downie sucker-punched the Maple Leafs' Jason Blake as the pair were being restrained by officials following early third period fisticuffs. Already famous for a vicious preseason headshot on Ottawa's Dean McAmmond, earning him a 20 game suspension and criticism from players league-wide (including Blake), the reckless rookie renewed his

Today In NHL History - Stamkos' Penalty Shot Miss
On January 5th in 2011, Tampa Bay Lightning sniper Steven Stamkos lost an edge during a penalty shot attempt against Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins and failed to put the puck on net down 5-0 early in the second period. The miscue comes only six days after the 2010 Rocket Richard co-winner was awarded his first NHL penalty shot which he converted with a nifty spin-o-rama move against

On January 4th in 1987, a bench-clearing brawl erupted during the final game of the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Piestany, Czechoslovakia between arch rivals Canada and the USSR. With Canada contending for a medal (bronze for a loss, silver for a win, gold for a win by five goals) and the USSR playing for pride, tempers flared at the match's midpoint with Canada leading 4-2.

Today In NHL History - Stefan Misses Empty Net
On January 4th in 2007, Dallas Stars forward Patrick Stefan famously flubbed an empty net goal with ten seconds left in a 5-4 game against the Edmonton Oilers. Falling after his failing, Edmonton fed Ales Hemsky who scored on Marty Turco to tie the game with two seconds to play. Afterwards, Stefan explained his unfortunate mishap: "It's not like I missed the net, I saw it was bad ice and I had

Oilers Thoughts: Draisaitl needs to step up, McDavid’s milestones, Bouchard’s Team Canada snub, a Clattenburg update, and the ‘Kid Line’ experiment
I’ll admit, I never got around to watching the TV series Stranger Things before it ended, despite everyone in my circle urging me. Still, just as everyone says it was must-see TV, so too are the Edmonton Oilers, with their up-and-down ways lately. Between the way the Oilers have been playing, some questionable lineup moves,…

NHL weekend rankings: On the Rangers, the Wings, and the awful Pacific Division
In a perfect world, I think the top five should have one team from each division. That’s not about spreading the hype or artificial parity. It’s just the reality of the current playoff format, where each division is virtually assured of sending one team to the final four. (The exception would be a crossover wildcard “winning” a division it wasn’t even in, which would be very funny but has sadly never happened. Yet.) If our top five is about the long-term view, projecting ahead to an eventual C...
