Some of the National Hockey League’s best talent has always been at center. The position is expected to play a defensively responsible game while also being the primary generator of offense. Some believe that having an elite top line center is the single most important element a team needs to win a Stanley Cup. The
It’s not really a secret, but Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice may have ever-so slightly tipped his hand when it comes to the game plan of the Jets heading into Game 2 versus the Oilers. It came in the form of a simple comment that could signal his thought process throughout the rest of
In an Edmonton Oilers news and rumors update, Connor McDavid accomplished an amazing feat with the NHL’s regular season now complete. Meanwhile, Slater Koekkoek showed well in the final game of the Oilers season. Where does he fit into the playoff plan? Will Gaetan Haas and Zack Kassian get much playing time and how often
It was a mild winter day when the Edmonton Oilers began their season on Jan. 13 versus the Vancouver Canucks. Both teams were undefeated, as they all are prior to Game 1, but only one of the two would end the night that way. With no preseason games, the matchup was the first actual hockey
In an Edmonton Oilers news and rumors update, head coach Dave Tippett has decided to shuffle his forward group ahead of Saturday’s game versus the Calgary Flames, promoting a couple of younger players in the process. There is news the Edmonton Oilers are on the verge of signing a goaltending prospect, and Connor McDavid is
The Winnipeg Jets are in a complete and utter free fall, losers of five straight and seemingly without answers as to how to turn things around. Here, we’ll take a look at their disastrous 0-5 homestand and the key moment in each game that turned the tide irreversibly toward a loss. April 17 vs the
A franchise like the Edmonton Oilers has seen some of the best and some of the worst players throughout their storied history. The Oilers have had the luxury of selecting first overall at the NHL Draft on four different occasions since 2010 and needless to say not all of them have lived up to that
You won’t find too many Edmonton Oilers fans who believe the officiating — at least when it comes to NHL superstar Connor McDavid — is anywhere close to consistent. If even half of the penalties were called that the dynamic and speedy center should have drawn, the opposition would be in the penalty box most
Week 10 of the 2020-21 NHL season featured an abundance of high-scoring matchups. A total of five or more goals were scored in 37 of the 54 games played. Moreover, a single team scored five or more goals in a game 13 times. The Colorado Avalanche led the league in scoring, tallying 19 goals for

The Montreal Canadiens’ rookie defenseman Alexander Romanov isn’t a typical rookie. The 21-year-old left-shot defenseman was drafted 38th overall during the 2018 NHL Entry Draft; however, if that draft were to happen again, he’d probably be a top-10 draft pick. After his time in the KHL, Romanov became one of the top prospects not playing
In a quick Edmonton Oilers news and rumors update, there is talk out of the organization that it’s been relayed to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins that there’s a cap on how much the Oilers are willing to pay on an extension.
