News from Edmonton.
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...
A wave of Edmonton restaurant closures has coincided with city construction, but operators say rising food, rent, labour and service costs are also squeezing already thin margins. Alberta restaurant sales have reached a record level, even as national data point to widespread losses and changing customer habits.

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...
The Alberta government plans to introduce legislation this fall to raise penalties for illegal dumping and require higher-risk waste facilities to register and meet additional operating rules. Premier Danielle Smith cited thousands of Calgary complaints and hundreds in Edmonton as the province pointed to cleanup costs for municipalities, residents and taxpayers.
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...
A Statistics Canada study released Tuesday found about one-quarter of respondents aged 25 to 44 were not at all hopeful about the future of democracy in Canada. It also reported differences in hopefulness by age, region, immigration status and mental health.
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...
Saskatchewan hosts Calgary on Friday with the chance to sweep the season series, while a Stampeders win by at least four points would give Calgary the tiebreaker if the teams finish with identical records. The weekend CFL slate also features four other matchups, including games involving two teams already eliminated from playoff contention.
Police are seeking Scot MacDermid, 42, on two counts of abduction in contravention of a custody order after he and his children, Lesley and George, disappeared from Edmonton on Aug. 28. Investigators say they have not issued an Amber Alert because its criteria have not been met.
The County of Grande Prairie approved a development permit for a proposed AI data centre near Sexsmith under existing land-use rules. After residents questioned the approval process and project impacts, the county said future data centre permits that fit the zoning will go to the municipal planning commission.
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...
Albertans now have until Oct. 31 to apply for a $100 energy rebate, after fewer than half of eligible residents had signed up. The province is also reinstating its fuel tax pause, removing the full 13-cent-per-litre tax starting Oct. 1 through the end of the year.
