The Vancouver Canucks swept the regular season series against the Edmonton Oilers this year. The Canucks outscored the Oilers 21-7 in those four games and 13-3 at 5v5.
After four games with the Edmonton Oilers up 3-1 in the series against the Los Angeles Kings, I wanted to get a sense of how the teams have compared and what each team’s strengths and weaknesses have been across their respective rosters.
Is there a better way to start the third round for the Oilers vs. Kings than a 7-4 dummying by the home side at Rogers Place? Absolutely not, friends. Even with the trio of flukey/own goals, the Oilers were by far the better hockey team for most of the night, earning their first Game 1 win since 2017.
The Edmonton Oilers take on the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night, both team’s final game of the 2023-24 regular season. For the Oilers, this will be their last chance to rest their major stars before taking on either the Vegas Golden Knights or Los Angeles Kings.
There were no jerseys on the ice, and no outraged fans in the stands. Instead, there were 4,600 fans crowding inside Mullett Arena Tuesday night saying goodbye to their Arizona Coyotes, as they beat the Oilers 5-2. Sean Durzi will go down as the last to score for the franchise, sealing the deal with an empty-net goal.
The Edmonton Oilers will be without Darnell Nurse, Cody Ceci, and Evander Kane as they help close out the Arizona Coyotes’ tenure in the desert. Kane will miss his second straight game due to maintenance purposes, and now Nurse and Ceci will join him.
With three games left in the regular season and only a slim chance of winning the division, the only things I really cared about in last night’s game were that Connor McDavid picked up his 100th assist, and everybody made it through okay.
The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs are exactly one week away. The Edmonton Oilers currently sit second in the Pacific Division, holding a record of 48-24-6.
There has been much debate regarding the play of Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci this season. The Edmonton Oilers have had relatively consistent success with their other two defensive pairs, but Nurse and Ceci have been boom or bust over various stretches.
The McDavid-less Oilers took on the Vegas Golden Knights last night at Rogers Place with the opportunity to pull themselves within a single point of locking in home-ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs.
Of course, the Oilers will always want Connor McDavid in the lineup. He’s the best player in the world doing things few in the history of the game have done.
The Oilers have a bunch of big games to play down the stretch, and none were more important than last night’s fourth and final meeting against the Los Angeles Kings at Rogers Place.
On Thursday evening, the Edmonton Oilers hosted their Pacific Division rivals, the Los Angeles Kings. Coming into this game, the Oilers had a three-point advantage in the standings over the Kings.
It’s not how you start, but how you end it, as the Oilers defeated the Buffalo Sabres at home by a score of 8-3. With the win, they now move to 88 points on the season, five ahead of the Los Angeles Kings for home ice in the first round.
For most of the 2023-24 season, the Edmonton Oilers have deployed the same three defensive pairings. Edmonton is the only team in the NHL with three different pairs each playing 500 minutes together at 5-on-5.
The Edmonton Oilers have scored 11 goals in their last two games and appear to be heating up just in time for the playoff stretch, led by their impact players.
After dropping back-to-back games against non-playoff teams, the Oilers are back in the win column as they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins by a score of 4-0.
If Thursday’s 4-2 loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets doesn’t show Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland that he needs to make another move or two before Friday’s Trade Deadline, what will?
Sometimes, a 2-1 game is just as exciting as a 6-5 game, as we learned on Tuesday evening when the Oilers scored a late game-tying goal before winning
It was a busy weekend for the Edmonton Oilers. First up, the boys beat the Kraken in Seattle on Saturday before flying home for a matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins back at Rogers Place on Sunday.
This one was over before it started, and the Oilers called game early. Fresh off coughing up a 3-1 Saturday night to the Calgary Flames, losing their second straight game, the Pittsburgh Penguins just didn’t have it.
With the NHL trade deadline only weeks away, the Oilers are actively exploring options to free up cap space and strengthen their roster for a deep playoff run.
According to a few sources, the Edmonton Oilers are open to it, but not keen on the idea of trading defenseman Cody Ceci. Knowing that he’s still got value, is a useful player, and that finding an upgrade might not be the easiest thing in the world to do with a limited budget, it sounds like the team is leaning toward keeping him on the roster.
The Edmonton Oilers suffered a second-round defeat at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights in the playoffs, and as they head into the offseason, there are a few changes that must be made.
It hasn’t taken long for the Maple Leafs to work out a contract for new acquisition Cody Ceci, and the defenseman has verbally agreed to a one-year, $4.5M contract with Toronto.
