On Friday morning, the Oilers made a massive splash, finally parting ways with goaltender Stuart Skinner in a deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Fellow goalie Tristan Jarry was the centrepiece coming the other way along with forward Sam Poulin, while the Oilers also sent defenceman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick to Pittsburgh.

The Detroit Red Wings and Edmonton Oilers meet Thursday night. Puck drop from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.

The Oilers have been connected to several veteran goaltenders of various quality with unattractive contracts. Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues has a $6 million cap hit in 2026-27, and Tristan Jarry of the Pittsburgh Penguins has two years left at $5.375 million.

The Edmonton Oilers are bringing up reinforcements to help with a slew of injuries up front.

The Edmonton Oilers showcase elite offensive flashes, but inconsistent 60-minute efforts leave them searching for sustained success. When will they flip the switch?

Edmonton not only eschewed the zone entry attempts over the stretch pass, but many of the individual zone entry attempts involved players trying to do too much (dekes over passes), and the play dying on a single player’s stick.

Evan Bouchard did not have the greatest of nights during the Edmonton Oilers' 4-3 OT loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

Seeing Brassard sign overseas is certainly surprising, as the 38-year-old forward has not played professionally since the 2022-23 season when he was a member of the Ottawa Senators. However, he is now resuming his career overseas, which is undoubtedly cool to see.
