The Edmonton Oilers have activated defenseman Connor Clattenburg off of long-term injured reserve. He has missed the last 11 games after sustaining an eye injury in Edmonton’s December 4th win over the Seattle Kraken.
When news broke on Monday that the Edmonton Oilers and forward Andrew Mangiapane were both open to the idea of a trade, “in the right situation”, the conversation quickly turned in some circles to what happened.
Welcome to another edition of NHL rumours here at Last Word On Hockey. This edition will focus on rumours surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and their upcoming plans.
As the Edmonton Oilers continue to get healthier and the Toronto Maple Leafs search for better lineup balance, a potential trade fit — one that might have legs after a report from Elliotte Friedman — might make sense.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The Edmonton Oilers haven’t lost consecutive games in over a month. They are 10-5-1 since November 21st, but they will need to be sharper tonight in Winnipeg than they were in Calgary on Saturday if they want to avoid a second straight loss.
Connor McDavid has accomplished just about everything you could dream of through the start of an NHL career. Eight 100-point seasons, five Art Ross Trophies, three Hart Trophies, a Rocket Richard Trophy, and even a Conn Smythe—yet the one thing still eluding him is a Stanley Cup.
Noah Philp is gone from the Edmonton Oilers organization. The Carolina Hurricanes claimed Philp off of waivers on Monday afternoon, after working his way back from a reported concussion.
The Carolina Hurricanes have claimed center Noah Philp off waivers from the Edmonton Oilers. Philp had played in 15 games with the Oilers in 2025-26, scoring two goals and an assist with an average ice time of 10:02.
The Edmonton Oilers took a risk placing Noah Philp on waivers Sunday afternoon. It was a gamble that appears to have backfired. The Carolina Hurricanes have claimed Philp off waivers, meaning the Oilers can’t place the promising forward in the AHL and will not get an asset in return.
The Edmonton Oilers haven’t lost consecutive games in over a month. They are 10-5-1 since November 21st, but they will need to be sharper tonight in Winnipeg than they were in Calgary on Saturday if they want to avoid a second straight loss.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is on the verge of making Edmonton Oilers history. The longtime forward needs just two more assists to reach 500 for his career, which would make him the sixth player in franchise history to hit that milestone.
The Oilers have also made a couple of waiver moves this week, placing both Noah Philp and David Tomasek on waivers for different reasons. In Tomasek’s case, he’s going back to Europe.
On the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman spent a few minutes talking about Andrew Mangiapane and how his time with the Oilers might be winding down.
The Edmonton Oilers may be approaching a big decision as their roster finally starts to get healthy. With key forwards returning, young players pushing for opportunities, and roles shifting, not everyone will be sticking around.
Saturday night was one where hard work defeated skill as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames collided for the second time in a week. The Flames’ fourth line ran the Oilers’ show, as Edmonton’s bottom-six may as well have stayed at home to eat leftover Christmas dinner.
As the Edmonton Oilers return to a relatively healthy active roster, the team has begun looking to thin out a fairly saturated forward core. On today’s rendition of 32 Thoughts with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the insider shared that the Oilers are looking to move out a forward on the trade market.
Shortly before the NHL returned to action following the holiday break, the Edmonton Oilers made the announcement that forward David Tomasek would be placed on waivers for the purpose of contract termination.
On Sunday, the Edmonton Oilers announced they have activated forward Noah Philp off LTIR and placed him on waivers. Additionally, as previously reported, forward David Tomášek has now officially been placed on waivers for the purpose of contract termination.
The Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending situation has taken a turn over the past weeks, and if veteran NHL analyst Terry Jones is reading the tea leaves correctly, backup netminder Calvin Pickard may have already played his last meaningful game in an Oilers uniform.
The Edmonton Oilers had been playing solid hockey leading into the Christmas break, but lost their first game after the break against the Calgary Flames.
The NHL returns from its holiday break on Saturday, and the Edmonton Oilers are coming out of that break as one of the league's hottest teams. The driving force behind this recent surge is superstar forward Connor McDavid.
A veteran player is going to become a free agent. On Friday, the Edmonton Oilers announced that, as soon as the NHL’s roster freeze ends on Sunday, the team will be placing forward David Tomasek on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
