Edmonton Oilers news from team coverage and the wider hockey press.
As Devon Levi prepares to make his first start for the Edmonton Oilers, the team’s parade to the infirmary continues. Already down top-nine forwards Matt Savoie, Jason Dickinson, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, on top of Mattias Janmark and Alec Regula, as well as goaltender Freddie Andersen, Zach Hyman is the latest to...
Is one game too early to start discussing NHL award races? Undoubtedly it is. Yet after watching the Edmonton Oilers’ season opener on Tuesday, I can’t help but consider the possibility of a Norris Trophy in Evan Bouchard’s future. In their 6-5 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks, Bouchard scored the first...
A great part of the NHL is that you typically don’t have much time to worry about what happened in the last game. You’re back in the saddle and straight back into battle. After suffering a frustrating loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, the Edmonton Oilers head west to take on those same Canucks...
The Edmonton Oilers have made several roster moves ahead of Thursday night’s rematch with the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who did not play in the season opener, was officially placed on injured reserve. In response, the Oilers have recalled Josh Samanski under emergency conditions, who was the last cut...
Well, that didn’t go well. Tristan Jarry had a less-than-stellar performance in the season opener against the Vancouver Canucks. He let in six goals on 23 shots, finishing with a -3.51 goals-saved below expected. Edmonton dominated the game and should have won easily, but they needed a couple of key saves in the...
Optimism met by immediate crashing doubt, cursing replaced with cheering, then cursing again, a resting heartbeat sent racing for the first time in months - the Edmonton Oilers and their specific brand of emotional manipulation were back in full force in Tuesday’s home opener. Six goals allowed on just eight...
For all the talk about change, Mike Babcock’s first game behind the Edmonton Oilers’ bench looked awfully familiar. The Oilers still turned the game into a track meet, still needed their offence to rescue them, and still left their coach talking about structure and poor decisions post-game. That doesn’t necessarily...
After the Edmonton Oilers wasted a season-opening, record-setting performance from Evan Bouchard in the unmitigated disaster against the Vancouver Canucks, it’s already time to make changes. What goes on in net is its own can of worms, and while the first game of the year largely rests at the feet of Tristan Jarry...

The Battle of Alberta isn’t much of a battle nowadays. Sure, the Calgary Flames took three of four games from the Edmonton Oilers last season, but after missing the playoffs with 96 points in 2024-25, the Flames bottomed out and finished with 77 points, the third-fewest in the National Hockey League in...
This past summer could largely be summed up by a phrase I’m planning to carve into my tombstone: HERE LIES KELVIN HE READ THE COMMENTS That or HE NEVER SAW TITANIC - I haven’t decided. But yeah, the comments. These Edmonton Oilers have had the internet arguing over the 12th to 14th forwards all summer long. No...
The greatest player to ever lace up his skates believes the game’s current No. 1 star won’t be leaving his current team. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, Hockey Hall of Famer and former Edmonton Oilers captain Wayne Gretzky was asked about current Oilers captain Connor McDavid’s future with...
Could Adam Larsson have been an Edmonton Oiler sooner? If former general manager Craig MacTavish had his way, the answer would be yes, but his offer to then-New Jersey Devils GM Lou Lamoriello was not received warmly. MacT held the reins for two seasons in 2013-14 and 2014-15 and famously promised “bold moves” to...
The Edmonton Oilers need a centre. Tuesday’s season opener didn’t go great, and it surely didn’t help that both Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jason Dickinson were out of the lineup. Even with a healthy Nugent-Hopkins and Dickinson, centre is still an area of need, as Nugent-Hopkins’ numbers away from Draisaitl and McDavid...
The Edmonton Oilers lost their season opener for the fourth consecutive season Tuesday night. They lost 8-1 in Vancouver in October 2023, and were pumped 6-0 at home to Winnipeg in 2024, blew a 3-0 lead and lost 4-3 in a home shootout to Calgary last year, and lost 6-5 in OT to Vancouver last night. They’ve allowed 23...
New-look Edmonton Oilers look like last year's Oilers in sloppy loss to Canucks edmontonjournal.com
After the longest off-season we’ve had in years, the Edmonton Oilers were finally back on Rogers Place ice for the season opener against the lowly Vancouver Canucks. Despite basically everyone on earth expecting the Oilers to win this hockey game, a disastrous performance in net left the door open just enough for the...
It doesn’t matter who is behind the bench, who tends the crease, or what the lines look like. The more things change for the Edmonton Oilers, the more they stay the same. Such was the case in the team’s season opener, which began with a bang, continued with the screech reminiscent of a car crash, and ended with a...
The Edmonton Oilers have wrapped up their first of 84 regular-season games, sparking an eruption of emotion inside Rogers Place and across the internet. Much of it was aimed at goaltender Tristan Jarry, who didn’t sell Oilers fans on being a goalie who turned a corner this off-season after the 6-5 overtime loss to...
