The Edmonton Oilers too to the ice for practice today with coach Knoblauch mixing up the lines for a different look and without Mattias Ekholm or Kasperi Kapanen present.

Jeff Skinner & Troy Stecher will come back in while Stuart Skinner will get the start on Thursday for Edmonton's second half of back-to-back games at Ball Arena against Colorado

Dallas needs Klingberg more than the Oilers. Their other three right-shot D — Matt Dumba, Ilya Lyubushkin and Nils Lundkvist — haven’t scored a goal all season long. He wants to play on a Cup contender and wherever he signs, he’s in audition mode for next season.

Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch revealed at practice today that defenceman John Klingberg is expected to make his debut with the team along with new defence pairs.

A new inside report has connected the Edmonton Oilers to signing Mikko Rantanen in free agency this season, and they may actually have the cap flexibility to make the deal without losing significant roster players.

The Buffalo Sabres had a chance to split their Western Conference road trip with a win in Edmonton on Saturday over the Oilers. However, the Sabres only ever trailed at the end of the contest, falling at Rogers Place.

The Edmonton Oilers narrowly defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Saturday afternoon (Jan. 25). This was a very high-event, back-and-forth affair with three separate lead changes and a lot of scoring chances.
