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 2025-26. While t
And just like that, one week after it began, the 2026-27 NHL pre-season is over. For the Edmonton Oilers, it couldn’t have come soon enough. After a long summer of waiting after getting bounced in the first round by the Anaheim Ducks, the Oilers came out swinging in the pre-season, capping off a perfect 4-0…

The Edmonton Oilers have a very favourable schedule to start the season, and they plan on taking advantage of it. They’ve been slow out of the gate the past three seasons, starting 4-5-1, 4-5-1 and 2-7-1, but in the fall of 2021, they were 9-1 out of the gate and 7-3 the following season. The…
What the Edmonton Oilers are doing at centre has been my focus through training camp, with the plan set for Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to play together (at least at home) and working out Colton Dach and even Trent Frederic at practice as pivots.

The Bakersfield Condors Edmonton Oilers were in Vancouver on Thursday to square off against the Canucks in their third of four tune-up games of the pre-season.
