The 2026-27 season starts this month, so let’s continue our Edmonton Oilers player preview series. We looked at Max Jones and Eduards Tralmaks, and now we turn our attention to Ty Emberson.
Fans are waiting patiently for the new season to start up, and with a little over a month left before the 2026-27 regular season gets underway, there are still some questions and speculation surrounding the Edmonton Oilers before they enter one of their most important seasons in franchise history.
The recent trade between the Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks involving Darnell Nurse isn’t the first time the two franchises have connected on a deal to swap blue liners.
How many of the 22 players in NHL history with at least 600 career goals can you name in five minutes?
The Edmonton Oilers will enter the 2026-27 season with five defencemen firmly locked into opening‑night roles: Evan Bouchard, Mattias Ekholm, Connor Murphy, Jake Walman, and Ryan Shea.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
In the 2025–26 NHL season, Edmonton Oilers defenceman Jake Walman was on-ice for 3.6 goals allowed per hour at 5-on-5. Among all defencemen with a minimum of 500 minutes played, that rate ranks dead last.
There are times when a fight is so damn good that the only winners are the fans. That’s exactly what happened in the final Battle of Alberta this past season, days before the beginning of the Olympic break.

Trade discussions involving Morgan Rielly could resurface this offseason as both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers look to reshape their blue lines.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The Edmonton Oilers seem to be finding their mojo at just the right time down the stretch, and they need to keep that momentum going to secure a playoff spot and, despite the rollercoaster of a season, still have a chance to capture their first division title since the 1986-87 season.
The Edmonton Oilers delivered a mixed bag injury update on Friday, as the team continues to lose bodies down the stretch drive of the regular season. Trent Frederic did not return in the third period against the Florida Panthers, an eventual 4-0 loss.
The injury bug bit the Edmonton Oilers hard on Tuesday night. While they walked out of Colorado with a 4-3 victory over the Avalanche, they did so carrying out a few wounded players.
Last week, I outlined the different factors that will impact the Edmonton Oilers as we creep closer and closer to the NHL’s trade deadline. Edmonton’s cap space is limited, and they don’t have a lot of premium assets to spend.
Plenty of storylines emerged in the Edmonton Oilers’ 6–4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins last night. There was a netminder duel between Stuart Skinner and Tristan Jarry, along with Leon Draisaitl recording his 1,000th NHL point.
On Saturday (April 19), the Edmonton Oilers announced they had signed defenceman Ty Emberson to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value (AAV) of $1.3 million.
He played in 76 games this season, becoming a full-fledged regular for the first time.
A young blueliner has hit a notable milestone. On Saturday afternoon against the Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers defenceman Ty Emberson appeared in the 100th game of his NHL career.

Adjusting to playing hockey in a big market like Edmonton isn’t always easy. It’s a passionate market full of smart fans, and the noise is often loud. Sometimes it can cause a player to not play their game early on in their tenure in town.
The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly closing in on a contract extension with defenceman Ty Emberson, and now insider Jim Matheson has shared some potential details of the deal.
Oilers Now host and Oilers color commentator Bob Stauffer joined Thursday night’s broadcast of the Edmonton Oilers vs. Minnesota Wild during the second intermission.
In last night's Edmonton Oilers game, fans and players alike noticed that the referees once again missed an obvious penalty call of instigator after the Ty Emberson fight.
The San Jose Sharks and defenseman Ty Emberson have agreed to terms on a one-year, $950,000 contract, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. It was a difficult rookie campaign for Emberson, who was claimed off waivers from the New York Rangers weeks before the start of the 2023-24 campaign.
Tough news for one of the young players on a struggling team. On Monday, San Jose Sharks head coach David Quinn revealed that forward Ty Emberson is likely out for the rest of the season.
He suffered the injury in the team’s Thursday night game against the Anaheim Ducks, leaving after just six minutes of ice time. He’s missed 27 games this season, suffering from a string of injuries and going on injured reserve twice already.
