3 d. ago All of these things are adding up to an MVP season for the Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: 9 Things

The regular season is not over yet. But if it were, Leon Draisaitl should lead the NHL’s MVP voting. There are many reasons why I believe that. But number one is that he leads the league in the very hardest thing there is to do in hockey. And he does not lead by just a […]

4 d. ago Honestly, where would the Edmonton Oilers be without Leon Draisaitl?

In golf, they don’t ask how, just how many. It’s kind of the same for slumping teams that finally end a losing streak. They don’t ask, ‘Who did you beat?’ So, it matters not that the Edmonton Oilers edged an opponent that had just four wins in its previous 11 games. Not when the Oilers […]

2 w. ago Player grades: Ducks fly in for a visit, but it's the Oilers who lay an egg

Ducks 6, Oilers 2 Edmonton Oilers played their first home game in 25 days on Tuesday with the hopes of turning the page on what had been a most unsatisfying road trip.
