The Edmonton Oilers took to the ice for practice today with a much different look to their lineup, including three notable absences with Darnell Nurse, Stuart Skinner, and John Klingberg.

Hart Winner Leon Draisaitl is ridiculous pic.twitter.com/ToWCTxSkC0 The only thing I disliked about Leon Draisaitl’s performance last night is that more people out east probably didn’t stay up to watch it.

When Oilers Now host Bob Stauffer throws out an idea on his show, it’s often because he’s got it on good authority that the organization is considering what he’s talking about.

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.

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.

A new inside report has connected the Edmonton Oilers to signing Mikko Rantanen in free agency this season, and they may actually have the cap flexibility to make the deal without losing significant roster players.

Hey look at that, another three-game winning streak. On Monday evening, the Edmonton Oilers hosted the Seattle Kraken, defeating the newest Pacific Division team 4-2 to regain the top spot in the Pacific Division.

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