SAN JOSE - Playing on Connor McDavid's wing: on one hand it's the most coveted position in hockey; on the other, it's the scariest. Yes, you're going to benefit from being on a line with one of the three or four best players who've ever played in the NHL. But, on the other hand, you have to keep up. And that means thinking faster, skating faster,…

Last time we looked, Mark Messier was approaching his 62nd birthday later this month, he was ensconced as a hockey commentator on ESPN and, even though he still looks like he spends hours in the gym, he's well past his playing days. But the Edmonton Oilers could use some of Messier's old dressing room fire. He would be in somebody's face or giving…

So far in 2022-23, no fewer than eleven promising young hockey players between the ages of 20 and 24 have donned the orange and blue of the Edmonton Oilers.

The Edmonton Oilers put their 3 game winning streak on the line tonight as they face the Anaheim Ducks down at Rogers Place tonight.

Welcome to our game day content presented by NHL betting site Betway! It is difficult to produce regularly in the NHL. The elite players do it year after year, but they are a small group. Most teams have four or five, maybe six, consistent goal-scoring and point-producing forwards year to year. But there are players who can get hot for a few…

The recently completed top 20 prospects shows three young Oilers who have already pushed into the NHL in Dylan Holloway, Philip Broberg and Markus Niemelainen.

The Chicago Blackhawks have dropped seven games in a row and picked up just one point in those contests as they have been outscored 35-14. Chicago led in only one of those contests. Edmonton is just 3-3 during that same stretch and goals have been hard to come by with 15 in those six games. Facing a team that is allowing 5.2 goals per game during…

All signs point to Tyler Benson making his NHL season debut on Wednesday (Nov. 30) when the Edmonton Oilers take on the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center.

The Edmonton Oilers will try and sweep the season series when they host the Florida Panthers on Monday. They won the first of two matchups 4-2 on November 12. Both teams have been just fair since that matchup, with the Oilers 2-3 since that victory and the Panthers 2-4 over that same span. Will the Panthers get a split in this series or will the…

There are six teams that were in the Stanley Cup playoffs last year - Florida, Washington and the New York Rangers in the East, and Calgary, Minnesota and Nashville in the West- who wouldn't be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Luckily for them, the season doesn't end after the first two months. But it does raise a couple of questions:…

After losing back to back games for the first time this season the Edmonton Oilers look to stop the bleeding. Every team loses games and every team loses consecutive games. The key to having a successful season is to keep the losing streaks short. So far the Oilers have been good at not losing large groups of games. The Minnesota Wild are in town…

The Edmonton Oilers have been busy, and inconsistent, in November. It seemed there was a game every second night in the first two weeks of the month, with a few back-to-backs adding to the degree of difficulty. This week sees just two games on the calendar and gives us a chance to drill down on the first 16 games of Edmonton's season. There are…

It'll be American Thanksgiving in a little over two weeks, and it's a key date in hockey because if you're in playoff position by that time, your odds of making the cut are roughly 75 percent.

The Colorado Avalanche are a win away from returning to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2001. With the season on the line, and plenty of work to do, we don't like the Edmonton Oilers' chances, but that doesn't mean it'll be low-scoring. The Colorado Avalanche are on the verge of their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 2001,…

Nick Blankenburg's celebration said it all. Six games into his NHL career, the rookie defenseman has steadily moved up the Blue Jackets' lineup, and in Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers he found himself running the top power-play unit midway through the third period. With the game tied 2-2, Blankenburg fired a wrist shot from the point that…

The Edmonton Oilers are a team that relies heavily on the production of two players. While the roster is deeper at forward than it has ever been in the last three decades and success in the regular season and playoffs will come from the group working together, there's no denying that any significant injury to Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl would…

The Edmonton Oilers once again look to keep adding numbers to their winning streak total as they play tonight.

Most betting sites have the Toronto Maple Leafs as the most favoured Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup in 2022-23 and the second or third most likely in the NHL (from'NHL Stanley Cup Odds: 2022-23 Winner Futures Betting', The Philadelphia Inquirer, 7/21/22). Considering what the Edmonton Oilers accomplished last season, making it to the Western…

The Florida Panthers ran into a desperate Calgary team on Tuesday night, one that had lost four consecutive games. The Edmonton Oilers may come into Thursday's game downright feisty. The Oilers, despite having two of the best players in the NHL, have lost six straight games and 12 of their past 14. The team's fanbase and local media have been…

No contract has been signed between the Oilers and Jake Virtanen, and GM Ken Holland insists there isn't one prepared in a drawer somewhere. Any NHL deal for the right winger must be earned on the ice. But even by inviting Virtanen to training camp on a tryout offer, Holland looks insensitive - to put it mildly. He's needlessly sticking his neck…
