Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
The Artemi Panarin saga has ended in New York with the Russian winger reportedly being traded to the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday afternoon, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Emily Kaplan reported. Former Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland, now with the Kings, swung the deal ahead of the NHL’s trade freeze, set for 1 pm…
The bench boss provided the latest on the trio of injured defencemen.
The Edmonton Oilers went 4-4 over a homestand that could’ve pushed them into first place in the Pacific Division. Instead, they got smoked 5-2 by the Toronto Maple Leafs at Rogers Place last night. Now they’re heading to the Saddledome for one more game before the Olympic break. Winning in Calgary won’t erase the frustration…
Welp…that sucks. Don’t fret, though, Edmonton Oilers fans. Soon, you too will get a break from this team, a much-needed and much-deserved break at that. However, if you crave one more game – the 58th of the NHL regular season already – well, the Battle of Alberta is tonight. After an important homestand finishes 4-4,…
The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their longest homestand of the season on Tuesday with a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, closing the door on an eight-game stretch that offered far more uncertainty than clarity. The result, much like the homestand itself, felt like a missed chance. Another mid-pack opponent arriving in Edmonton on…
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
We’re about to hit a whole bunch of important Olympic milestones. The NHL break starts tomorrow night. The first preliminary round games are next Wednesday. The medal round starts two weeks from tomorrow. Construction on the arena should be finished shortly after that. The point is, this happening. And that’s big, because as every hockey fan knows, the NHL hasn’t been to an Olympics since 2014. That’s 12 years ago, which is a long wait for fans. But it’s also a big gap for the players – big en...
Oilers, Leafs. Leafs, Oilers. They’re games that always bring a big, split, noisy crowd to Rogers Place, and it was no different Tuesday night, with competing chants all three periods. The energy was nothing short of fantastic, and it’s a shame the Leafs are so far from being a Stanley Cup contender, because an all-Canadian…

Gavin McKenna, Penn State's freshman phenom and favorite to be No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, has been charged with felony assault and three other charges following an incident near campus Saturday...
Who first proclaimed that a shot on goal is never a bad play? Maybe it was the same person who said, “You can’t score if you don’t shoot...
Michigan State held a memorial service at Munn Arena on Monday evening for Dan Sturges, the team's Director of Hockey Operations who passed away suddenly two weeks ago. Sturges was 40 years old...
Coming off an embarrassing 7-3 loss, the Edmonton Oilers were once again beaten by a team on the second half of a back-to-back. On Tuesday evening, the Oilers hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs in the penultimate game before the Olympic break, with the Oilers dropping this one 5-2. Let’s take a look at what happened…
If you've ever had a chance to sit and chat with a professional hockey player in a less-formal setting, you know that all players have about a million stories from their careers they enjoy telling. Minor-league hockey players always seem to have more of the crazier stories thanks to there being less cameras and eyeballs on them, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add another great read to the library that is all about one man's hockey experiences. Teebz's Book Club is proud to review Tal...
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’ record against the best teams, Connor McDavid’s Players’ Tribune article, Calvin Pickard clearing waivers, and much more. We kicked off…
I will occasionally drop in on a hockey game at an unspecified rink around town just to watch the action. My scouting resumé is nothing more than a blank sheet of paper since I've never been hired as a scout nor have I ever been asked to scout a player, but I know enough from watching games at the university level what I'd be seeking if I ever was asked to scout players. What a lot of people may not see is that the experience of sitting in the stands and listening and observing parents can go ...
Andrew Mangiapane is drawing into the Edmonton Oilers lineup tonight, replacing Curtis Lazar. And if you’re an Oilers fan reading that sentence, you’re probably groaning. If you’re a player in that locker room, you might be doing the same. This is a begrudging pill to swallow. Lazar’s been playing well. He’s embraced the fourth-line minutes,…
The Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs only play each other twice a year. They’ve never met in the playoffs, yet both fanbases dislike one another, and any time the Maple Leafs and Oilers play, the hype leading up to the games is higher than most opponents. I think it’s awesome. Sports are better where…
Latest from practice on the AHL club of Manitoba.
When news broke that the New York Rangers wouldn’t be signing Artemi Panarin to a contract extension, instead looking to find him a new home, it was reasonable to dismiss the idea of the Edmonton Oilers trading for him. An $11.6 million cap hit was the obvious roadblock for the Oilers, but so too was…
This Connor McDavid vs. Auston Matthews matchup tonight doesn’t feel like others. It’s been usurped by trade speculation surrounding Bobby McMann. It also won’t hit the same because it’s been a season from hell for the Toronto Maple Leafs as they come to town to face the Edmonton Oilers. That franchise is at a crossroads,…
On Sunday, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard was placed on NHL waivers, eventually clearing on Monday. Before the transaction was officially through, there was worry in the Edmonton locker room that Pickard could be claimed by another team. The 33-year-old goaltender played a big role in helping the Oilers to back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances…
After being placed on waivers on Sunday, Calvin Pickard cleared on Monday. The Oilers were putting off a tough decision, given that, from all accounts, Pickard appears to be a well-liked member of the dressing room. Although he’s been huge in the playoffs when the Oilers needed him to be, the 33-year-old has struggled in…
