The Edmonton Oilers were looking to rebound from a brutal performance versus the New York Islanders and pick up a win in New Jersey.

The Edmonton Oilers struggled again on the road, generating few shots and little finish. Their late surge came too late, as the Red Wings outworked and out-chanced McDavid’s group.

Dylan Larkin and rookie Emmitt Finne each scored twice to help the surging Detroit Red Wings beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Sunday. Detroit has won five straight since opening with a 5-1 loss to Montreal.

Emmitt Finnie scored his first two NHL goals and added an assist for the Red Wings (5-1-0). John Gibson made 16 saves and had an assist. Lucas Raymond, who missed the past two games with an upper-body injury, had two assists.

Samuel Jonsson figures to offer Day the strongest competition for “goalie of the future” among the stable of netminders currently slated to play pro hockey this winter. Jonsson and Day both played for the Oilers during the preseason this year, and both delivered impressive results, via Natural Stat Trick.

The clock is ticking on the Edmonton Oilers getting healthy. While the team placed defenceman Alec Regula on the injured reserve on Sunday ahead of their afternoon matinee with the Detroit Red Wings,

MATT SAVOIE. 5. A dangerous wrist shot right from the high slot in the second nabbed by the Detroit goalie. One of the better Oilers forwards 5v5 and does a lot of little things right. The Oilers finish their road trip in Ottawa Tuesday.

The Edmonton Oilers began the 2025-26 season with a long list of injured players. From No. 1 line right winger Zach Hyman, through top-four defenceman Jake Walman, checking winger Mattias Janmark and most recently depth defenceman Alec Regula, the overall thrust of the lineup was altered greatly due to injury.

Crazy that just over one year ago today, this post came out detailing a second consecutive concerningly slow start to the season for the Edmonton Oilers.

According to David Pagnotta, the LA Kings are reluctant to pay the roughly $11 million annual salary that Adrian Kempe is seeking. This comes as the Edmonton Oilers and other NHL clubs have shown interest in the player.
