The decision to let Dylan Holloway join the St. Louis Blues on an offer sheet is looking worse and worse for the Edmonton Oilers.
THROUGH GAMES OF WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 2025
The Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid back after a three-game suspension and, with that, came some pretty major line changes.
Before establishing himself on the left wing next to league-leading scorer Leon Draisaitl after being traded to the Oilers on Aug. 18, Vasily Podkolzin was a first-round draft pick of the Canucks, where he spent his first three NHL seasons.
The Edmonton Oilers went 3-1 in four games last week, including two come-from-behind wins, and almost pulled off another against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan.
Edmonton Oilers tempted fate once too often on Saturday, and this time they paid for it. They dug yet another deep first-period hole against a spirited Vancouver Canucks squad, allowing all 3 goals in 3½ minutes late in the first period including a pair of powerplay tallies by first star Quinn Hughes.
The trades are coming in hot and Cup contenders are filling needs. What are the biggest needs for each contender?
Not exactly a masterpiece at Rogers Place on Monday night, but the Edmonton Oilers ’ mastery of the Seattle Kraken continued with an eighth consecutive victory for the blue and orange. As was the case in Seattle at the beginning of the month, the Oilers walked away with a 4-2 win, an emtpy-net goal sealing the deal in each instance.
