The Edmonton Oilers have been looking for ways to improve since the start of their 2023-24 campaign wasn’t great, and they continue to try and find a way to get back to their winning ways. With the firing of Jay Woodcroft and the team choosing to assign Jack Campbell to the American Hockey League (AHL)

The Edmonton Oilers have had lackluster defensive play to start the 2023-24 season and have been looking to fix their issues in any way they can without overspending for temporary assets this season. The team currently sits at 9-12-1 and remains near the bottom of the Pacific Division following a terrible start to their new
William Nylander has been nothing short of spectacular this season for the Toronto Maple Leafs. His 18-game point streak came to an end on Friday, Nov. 24, 2023, against the Chicago Blackhawks, which saw him register a point in every game since the start of the season. While it has been awesome to see, and
Yes, we’ve been here before. It almost seems like deja vu. It’s the middle of November and the Columbus Blue Jackets are in the cellar of the Eastern Conference. Adding a new head coach, two top-four defenders, and a shiny new third-overall draft pick have only been enough to get the team one single point
On Thursday, Nov. 2, the Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 4-2 result may not be what many expected when they saw this matchup on the schedule – the Lightning are perennial Stanley Cup contenders, and the Jackets are rebounding from one of the worst seasons in franchise history. It seems like
Just five games into the 2023-24 season, the Columbus Blue Jackets look dramatically different than they did all of last season. While it’s still early, it’s easy to see why. The Blue Jackets did earn their third win of the season Saturday night against the Minnesota Wild 5-4 in overtime. It marked the first time
Not much went right for the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night against the Detroit Red Wings. They couldn’t score any goals. They made costly mistakes that gave the Red Wings all the momentum they needed. It got so bad that head coach Pascal Vincent benched defenseman Damon Severson (and his new 8-year, $50 contract)
The Columbus Blue Jackets were linked to Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland by Elliotte Friedman on Hockey Night in Canada. Although on paper it would seem to make sense, as Vancouver is looking for a defenseman in return and the Blue Jackets need to move one; it would only create more problems. The Blue Jackets
The NHL regular season kicks off this coming week, with the first set of games on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Perhaps the most competitive division in the league is the Metropolitan. There were quite a few changes in the Metro this offseason, which we reviewed earlier this summer. For this article, let’s look at the strengths
When the Columbus Blue Jackets gathered for training camp, one compelling storyline was the return of forward Alexandre Texier. He had been on the verge of establishing himself as a mainstay in the Blue Jackets lineup during the 2021-22 season when fate dealt him a challenging hand. On Feb. 26, 2022, the Blue Jackets received

With the recent announcement of Pascal Vincent‘s promotion from assistant coach to head coach with the Blue Jackets, we’ll look at the path he’s taken to where he currently sits. Is there a history of internal promotions recently within the NHL? And if so, how have some recent coaches done since being promoted? Similar Trajectory
The Columbus Blue Jackets made major news as training camp week is about to start. They have made a coaching change. On Sunday afternoon, the Blue Jackets announced that “after much discussion and careful consideration”, the team and Mike Babcock together agreed to begin the process of stepping down effective immediately.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are entering an important season for the organization. Coming out of a rebuild, they need to be healthy and perform at a high level to show that they can truly be contenders in the near future. With new faces such as Mike Babcock, Damon Severson, and Ivan Provorov, there will be
The Columbus Blue Jackets have a problem: too many players under contract. As it stands they have 13 or 14 defensemen and 16 or 17 forwards that could spend time at the NHL level this season. Something has to give. Someone needs to be traded out to make space for the incoming wealth of young
Every player comes into a season with the expectation that they are at the start of a career year, but few realize that hope.
