Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl scored his 29th goal in the first five minute of a game in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals.

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.

BOTTOM LINE: The Edmonton Oilers are looking to keep a three-game win streak alive when they host the Detroit Red Wings. Edmonton is 32-15-3 overall and 18-8-1 at home. The Oilers have a 17-5-2 record when they commit fewer penalties than their opponent.

The Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday night. Another chippy game between the Canadian rivals featured 13 penalties, including a game misconduct, and Corey Perry was right in the middle of it.

Elliotte Friedman reports that money was one significant factor (perhaps the biggest) in the Colorado Avalanche’s decision to trade Mikko Rantanen.

The improvement in scoring at five-on-five (by far the largest game state) represents a major positive shift for the Oilers in 2024-25. The coaching staff is trying to suppress opposition offence while making certain the elite talent on the Oilers can wheel.

According to NHL insider Andy Strickland, the Edmonton Oilers are among the favourites to sign star forward Mikko Rantanen if he leaves the Carolina Hurricanes in free agency.

EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid will be back in the lineup for the Edmonton Oilers when they host the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Place on Monday (9:30 p.m. ET; TVAS, SNW, KONG, KHN), having served his three-game suspension for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland on Jan. 18.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist and Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday. “Happy with all the players,” Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said after the game.

The Oilers need to sign both Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard to long-term deals this summer, but could they also fit in Mikko Rantanen?

Edmonton Oilers fans are well-versed in the rivalries the Oilers have with the Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks, and Los Angeles Kings. However, one rivalry that a couple of the Oilers' best players enjoy is against the Seattle Kraken.
