The Oilers will go with 11 forwards & seven defencemen for the second straight game when Adam Henrique receives the Silver Stick for reaching 1,000 NHL games before facing the Rangers

Edmonton’s top winger is feeling “really good” and close to a return, but the team’s medical staff isn’t ready to clear him just yet.

Keeping his salary steady was a choice McDavid felt he had to make to help the Oilers compete for the Stanley Cup.

The Edmonton Oilers are now linked to a highly-sought after trade target that a few other teams are desperate to add.

The Edmonton Oilers will continue their three-game homestand at Rogers Place on Thursday night against the New York Rangers. You can watch the game on Sportsnet One at 7:00 p.m. MDT or listen live on the Oilers Radio Network, including 880 CHED.

The Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers are both coming off a solid outing that helped them snap a skid, and each will look to keep it going when the two squads square off in Edmonton on Thursday.

Wednesday (Oct. 29) marked 100 days until the start of the 2026 Winter Games, which will take place in Italy from Feb. 6-22, with the men’s hockey tournament running from Feb.

A victory at Rogers Place would mean the Rangers (4-5-2) finish their October schedule at NHL-.500. That’s not nothing, considering the Rangers are winless at home (0-4-1) and somehow the second-lowest scoring team in the League (2.18 goals per game), despite quite often badly outplaying the opposition.
