The Oilers look to win their fourth straight game on Thursday night when they continue their six-game homestand at Rogers Place against the Red Wings

After a shocking trade, the Hurricanes have elevated their chances of winning the Stanley Cup in the 2024-25 NHL season. Which other teams are contenders?

Connor McDavid is back and the blender is out. Ahead of Monday’s game against the Seattle Kraken, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch made a few changes to his team’s forward lines.

So close, yet so far. This was the story of the Edmonton Oilers in 2023-24 season as they lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final against the Florida Panthers and fell short.

Connor McDavid will be eligible to return from his three-game suspension when the Edmonton Oilers play host to the Seattle Kraken on Monday night.

Here are three players who have greatly improved in the with the St. Louis Blues this season and have benefited the roster because of it.

Nathan MacKinnon leads the league in scoring. Draisaitl only trails him by a single point. There is plenty of season left to be played, but as long as the Oilers have Draisaitl, they'll be fine. Draisaitl will be able to hold down the fort until the captain returns.

Garland, of all people, jabbed at Calvin Pickard when the Oilers goalie had the puck covered midway through the second period, which ignited a scrum behind the net. Perry quickly got involved. He was about to grab Canucks centre Elias Pettersson until he saw defenceman Quinn Hughes, who’d come in off his point, without a dance partner.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2.

Henrique gave Edmonton a three-goal lead at 14:41 of the first. Henrique got a pass behind the net, moved out front and in one motion went down to one knee and jammed it in on the short side. Hyman deflected a pass into the net just 1:59 into the second period for his second goal of the game to make it 4-0.

Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman's exclusion from Team Canada's roster for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament has sparked questions about the decision to leave the forward out.
