Nugent-Hopkins scored just his second five-on-five point of the season away from Connor McDavid. It’s been an unusu

The Edmonton Oilers are second in the Pacific Division, and they have Leon Draisaitl to thank for that. While their 27-13-3 record through 43 games was largely expected, how they got there has been somewhat surprising.

Nugent-Hopkins notched a power-play assist, two PIM and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks. Nugent-Hopkins has earned four goals and three assists over nine outings in a productive January.

When Leon Draisaitl won his first Hart Trophy in 2019-20, he made his case during a stretch when teammate Connor McDavid was out with an injury. The Oilers had missed the playoffs in back-to-back years in 2017-18 and 2018-19 and found themselves back in the mix in 2019-20 after a hot start to the season.

The Oilers need another scorer if they're going to return to the Stanley Cup Final.

Edmonton Oilers have effected a transition that some had foreseen for quite some time. Deeply-respected but aging vet Derek Ryan had already seen his ice time dwindle to single-digit minutes per game.

This in from Bob Stauffer of the Oilers radio network, the lines from today’s Edmonton Oilers practice that show Jeff Skinner has yet again been bumped down the line-up: Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Arvidsson Hyman-Henrique-Perry Janmark-RNH-Brown J.

Have you ever tried to find images that look like people or things in a cloud? My friend Christa and I did when I was maybe 10, of course at that age the imagination is more pronounced. Then again, the 'known images' library in my brain has a store of millions.

While the two newest Oilers defenders should take little time to get going, fans shouldn't expect a change overnight. Before they took on the Washington Capitals last night, Tom Gazzola reported that John Klingberg and Alec Regula were practicing on the ice with assistant coach Mark Stuart.

The Oilers will adjust their lineup for the first of his three games without Connor McDavid due to suspension on Tuesday at Rogers Place against the Capitals

How does a team replace Connor McDavid in their lineup? That’s an easy question — They don’t. With the team’s captain serving the first game of a three-game suspension for cross-checking, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said it’ll take a community approach to handle playing without McDavid.
