He also endured a few rocky seasons with the Sabres that ended in him being bought out. In his first year with the Edmonton Oilers, he’s gone from a high-profile free-agent signee to someone struggling to get into the lineup.

Those were Zach Hyman's thoughts on the Oilers' 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. It's clear where he was coming from: Buffalo outshot Edmonton 41-32, peppering Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner with 36 shots in the final 40 minutes. The Oilers were lucky to come away with a win against the last-place team in the Eastern Conference.

The Edmonton Oilers had a bad taste in their mouth after their last game against the Vancouver Canucks, but they enjoyed some revenge on Thursday with a 6-2 victory.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist and Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday. “Happy with all the players,” Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said after the game.

Defenceman John Klingberg will make his long-awaited Blue & Orange debut on Thursday night when the Edmonton Oilers host the Detroit Red Wings at Rogers Place, Head Coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed following the morning skate.

The decision to let Dylan Holloway join the St. Louis Blues on an offer sheet is looking worse and worse for the Edmonton Oilers.

Saad has been relegated to a bottom-six role in St. Louis, having been passed on the depth chart by former Oilers forward Dylan Holloway. He is coming off a 26-goal campaign with the Blues last season, and it still looks like he has the wheels to be an NHL player.

The Edmonton Oilers too to the ice for practice today with coach Knoblauch mixing up the lines for a different look and without Mattias Ekholm or Kasperi Kapanen present.

The Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid back after a three-game suspension and, with that, came some pretty major line changes.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored two goals to help the Edmonton Oilers beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2. Edmonton improved to 21-6-1 in its last 28 games.
