The #Oilers have relieved head coach Kris Knoblauch & assistant coach Mark Stuart of their duties. nhl.com/oilers/news/re…

After an unforgettable three-year career with the @ErieOtters, Connor McDavid has transcended today's @NHL as a member of the @EdmontonOilers and now takes his place at no. 4 on the list of the CHL's Top 50 players of the past 50 years! #CHL50 📰 chl.ca/article/connor…

Leon Draisaitl really impressed at his postseason press conference today. I’m not going to quote anything in particular, but the entirety of his comments demonstrates the highest level of professionalism and leadership possible in that forum.

16 years and I still get a little sad when the season is over (at least for me). The ebbs and flows of following a contender never get old. Thanks for watching, listening, and perhaps most importantly, caring. My job is a privilege I don’t take lightly. Until we meet again…

Game 6 warmup: Draisaitl-McDavid-Kapanen Podkolzin-RNH-Hyman Savoie-Dickinson-Roslovic Dach-Samanski-Lazar Nurse-Bouchard Walman-Murphy Ekholm-Emberson Ingram *13th elimination game for EDM in last five years.

Draisaitl (two goals) and McDavid (two assists) start on the same line for the first time since Nov. 8. There will be a Game 6.

👀 Draisaitl-McDavid-Kapanen starting the game.

Cheech. The Best.

Connor Ingram starts Game 5. Puck drop tonight at 8:20 MT on @Sportsnet w/@ScottOake & @LouDeBrusk … Lots of love to come as far as the great John Garrett. An absolute beauty.

@Alvin_cdn @MCeccanese11294 Their record is 2-1 when facing a 3-1 deficit.

@EdmontonJack @MCeccanese11294 Its 3-1.

The quartet of McDavid, Draisaitl, RNH, and Nurse are 8-6 when facing elimination, and have twice won series when down 3-2. Ducks have trailed in every game but are up 3-1. In fact, Anaheim has been behind in all but one of its 30 games post-Olympics but has 16 wins—credit due.

@MCeccanese11294 It’s 2-1.

@EdmontonJack What’s the quartet’s record when facing elimination down 3-1? With 97, 29, 18 looking banged up needing to win 3 straight games in 5 days with travel will be tough especially against a young talented confident Ducks team

No Colton Dach in warmups. Oilers have won their last 10 Game 4’s—last loss came in ‘22 WCF.

Jarry starts in goal. Dickinson will play as well.

The Oilers have won six straight Game 4’s when trailing a series 2-1. Under Kris Knoblauch, they’re 11-16 in Games 1-3, 19-4 in Games 4-7.

My hunch is that Jarry will play tomorrow—Kris Knoblauch did not commit to a starter for Game 4, 7:50 puck drop on @Sportsnet. Dickinson game-time decision.

Gut check time. Oilers rallied from 2-0 down to LA last year, 2-1 to both Vancouver and Dallas in ‘24, and 2-1 to LA in ‘23. So this core of players are not in unfamiliar territory. But it’s time.

Game 3 projected lines: RNH-McDavid-Hyman Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Kapanen Savoie-Samanski-Roslovic Dach-Lazar-Frederic 8:10 MT puck drop on @Sportsnet w/@LouDeBrusk & @ScottOake.

Edmonton vs Anaheim this year: 7-4 EDM (two EN) 6-5 ANA 4-2 EDM (EN) 4-3 EDM 6-4 ANA (EN) All tense, exciting games decided by an average score of 5-4. Not a neutral zone trap to be found. It’s a best of five heading to Orange County. Game 3 Friday at 8:00 MT.
