We were all set up for a classic on Saturday night; Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers in Toronto to face the Maple Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada.
On Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers finally made their major goaltending move. It was a deal that sent their starting goalie in Stuart Skinner, alongside defenceman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick, to the Pittsburgh Penguins for goaltender Tristan Jarry.
Tristan Jarry posted a .893 save percentage in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Saturday night. His Oilers debut went well — 25 saves on 28 shots, the team scored six goals, and Edmonton extended their point streak to five games.
Tristan Jarry’s first game with the Edmonton Oilers offered a new view of elite talent. After the 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, the goalie spoke about sharing the ice with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
The helmet and stick didn’t match the jersey, but the pads certainly did. Tristan Jarry’s Frankenstein uniform was an odd sight to see between the Edmonton Oilers’ pipes Saturday night, but his play certainly wasn’t.
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 kicked off their five-game road trip with a dominating 6-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. It’s always exciting when these two teams battle, and this game was no different.
Edmonton's Connor McDavid will look to continue his latest hot streak when the Oilers visit the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night. McDavid had two goals and an assist in the Oilers' 6-3 win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
After wrapping up their home stand with a big win over Detroit, the Edmonton Oilers are back on the road for the next five games, with their first stop happening in Toronto for a matchup against the Leafs.
At first, when the Edmonton Oilers traded Stuart Skinner to the Pittsburgh Penguins, I had to admit that I was outraged. But I’ve come to wonder, after turning this one over for a bit, whether it really sits as neatly as the outrage around it suggests.
The Edmonton Oilers have announced the jersey numbers for their newest additions ahead of Saturday night’s matchup in Toronto, with both Tristan Jarry and Spencer Stastney set to make their Oilers debuts against the Maple Leafs.
The Holiday Season has arrived, and with Christmas around the corner, it’s time to determine Santa’s Naughty or Nice List. For the Edmonton Oilers, there have certainly been players who’ve impressed, but there have also been a few major disappointments.
After acquiring netminder Tristan Jarry and defenseman Spencer Stastney earlier today while moving out Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak, it was likely the Edmonton Oilers were going to have to make an additional roster move for depth purposes.
Earlier today the Edmonton Oilers announced that Max Jones has been recalled from AHL Bakersfield, while fellow forwards Connor Clattenburg and Jack Roslovic have been placed on injured reserve.
