Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has a disappointing update on the status of Zach Hyman, who hasn't played since May.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid explained why his contract situation differed from that of Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov.

On the day the Edmonton Oilers acquired Vasily Podkolzin, the only real question about the winger involved offence. No matter a winger’s size, speed or two-way acumen, forwards are expected to move the needle offensively. By the time the Vancouver Canucks dealt him, management felt like they had their answer.

Though Edmonton’s offense was outstanding this game, it was uncanny for the Mammoth’s defense, which allowed just 2.40 goals per game (tied for second-best in the league heading into this matchup), to collapse the way it did in a single period.

This might sound unlikely, but the Edmonton Oilers are off to their best start in three seasons. The Oilers currently sit at 5–4–2 through their first 11 games.

Through the first seven games of this NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers averaged 1.55 goals per 60 during five-on-five play. After seven games in 2024-25, Edmonton’s five-on-five goals per 60 of 1.57 was also near the bottom of the league. The club recovered from there; in the final 75 games, it posted 2.56 goals per 60.

Edmonton’s Captain Connor McDavid leads all active Oilers in career points (7) while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins leads all active Oilers in career goals (3) versus Utah. McDavid has registered a multi-point effort in all three career games he has played against Utah (per Oilers PR).

The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Utah Mammoth 6–3 in their first visit to Rogers Place. What was a glacial start turned into an impressive character win for the Oilers.

The speculation around Connor McDavid's future with the Edmonton Oilers can be put to rest, at least for now. McDavid has signed a two-year, $25 million contract extension with the Oilers, the team announced Monday .

Igor Kravchuk, Bob Beers and Boris Mironov were featured on the power play during the early 1990s, but none could be described as a pure puck mover. Roman Hamrlik arrived in the late 1990s and provided offensive help, but he was a complete player and was on the ice in all situations.
