Bob Stauffer mentioned that the #Oilers could be looking at an off-the-radar trade target when it comes to upgrading the defence.

I took a stab at seven potential off-the-radar guys that could pique EDM's interest.

Shhhh we don’t talk about the games played

Is it too early to watch the standings in November? Of course not.

#Oilers leapfrog Canucks and Flames… just two points out of the division lead.

The mere knowledge of him being on the team is propelling them

Podkolzin finally getting rewarded for his work… great work to create that McDavid goal

2 assists for the Russian so far tonight

#Oilers

Eh, it’s not a gamble in a sense that it was expensive… he’s got some talent but has struggled to out it together in the NHL

It’s a gamble in that sense

#Oilers seeing their middle six lag behind the competition and add Kapanen to try help that.

He’s struggled to score consistently, but it’s an interesting bet. Could see him slotting in in the third line potentially

Offside migration to Blue Sky? Let it be known I started this trend

We all know that the #Oilers are in the market for a top four RD… but how long does it take until you pull the plug on this goalie tandem?

Sure, you gotta get goals to win games… but you also need saves. EDM getting neither right now.

Ekholm wires one over the shoulder of Montembault… only for the net to be off the moorings.

The hockey god’s are just toying with the #Oilers now

This feels like one of those games… haven’t hated Edmonton’s game but there haven’t been any legitimate scoring chances at all.

#Oilers have been hitting the snooze button all night.

#Oilers are not having the start they wanted to the season, but it's still way better than last year...

Record on Nov. 18, 2023: 5-10-1, 11pts

Record on Nov. 18, 2024 (today): 9-7-2, 20pts

Nearly double the amount of points with just two more games played.

Oilers have strong trade interest in Penguins defenceman: report | Offside The trade winds are starting to blow across the NHL and the Edmonton Oilers have reportedly been involved.

The #Oilers have been connected to Penguins LD Marcus Pettersson in a new report from Josh Yohe.

I delve into the fit and what the potential return could be in my latest: dailyhive.com/edmonton/oil...

Oilers reveal new-look defence pairs without Darnell Nurse | Offside The Edmonton Oilers ran a new-look defensive group this morning with Darnell Nurse presumably out with an injury.

Darnell Nurse is out of the #Oilers lineup and that means some new-looking defensive pairs against the Canadiens tonight.

I shall when they come back to Edmonton

Missed last night’s game in here due to getting a new phone lol… didn’t get it set up in time to live-tweet.

Rest assured, you’ll see my awful #Oilers all over your bluesky timeline from now on

I’m sensing a pattern with this #Oilers team…

Oilers bench clears to celebrate McDavid's 1,000th point | Offside The roof on Rogers Place nearly blew off as Oilers captain Connor McDavid secured his 1,000th NHL point against the Nashville Predators.

The celebration was on in Rogers Place during the second period of tonight's #Oilers game!

Connor McDavid, the newest member of the 1,000-point club.

Oilers will not have Arvidsson in the lineup for tonight's game | Offside After not skating at practice with the Edmonton Oilers yesterday, forward Viktor Arvidsson was officially ruled out for tonight.

The #Oilers will be without Viktor Arvidsson in the top six tonight...

I delve into what that means for this roster and who could step up in his absence. dailyhive.com/edmonton/oil...

Oilers' Brett Kulak says he is having the "best start" of his career | Offside It's not often that an NHL defenceman has a breakout year at the age of 30, but that may be the case with Oilers veteran Brett Kulak.

I chatted with #Oilers veteran Brett Kulak yesterday about his hot start to the season and how he's adjusting to playing more minutes on the right side.

It sounds like things are going well for the Stony Plain native.

Arvidsson is hurt and could miss next Oilers game | Offside The Edmonton Oilers could be down one forward against the Nashville Predators on Thursday night as Arvidsson is dealing with an injury.

Viktor Arvidsson is hurt and could miss tomorrow night's potentially historic #Oilers game

I delve into what that might mean to the lineup in my latest: dailyhive.com/edmonton/arv...

Viktor Arvidsson is "50/50" to play tomorrow as he is battling some sort of undisclosed injury.

#Oilers HC Knoblauch confirmed that it isn't serious... if he can't go the team will decide whether to call somebody up or to go with an 11/7 formation.

Pickard has picked up wins in his last two against the Predators… and it looks like he will get an opportunity for the season sweep tomorrow night.

He’s in the #Oilers starters net at practice this afternoon

Oilers coach Knoblauch explains why Kulak is on the second pair | Offside The Oilers have been playing musical chairs with their second defensive pair all season, but they've finally found one temporary solution.

Brett Kulak has been getting more and more ice time next to Darnell Nurse on the second pair lately so I decided to ask #Oilers HC Kris Knoblauch about it.

"We’ve been very happy with those two"

McDavid and Draisaitl stole the spotlight during last night's 4-3 #Oilers OT win over the Islanders... but they gave credit to a sneaky good shift before the eventual winner

“It was an amazing shift by them"

I asked McDavid (who famously hates talking about himself) if there is anxiety to get this 1000-point milestone out of the way:

“I guess maybe yeah, you just wanna get it over with and move on and get back to playing hockey”

He nearly got it tonight. One away for 97
