Alec Regula heads to the AHL for game action, seeking a reset. Can he regain form and solidify his NHL future with the playoff-bound Oilers?

The most glaring issue for the Edmonton Oilers this season has been without a doubt the continued problems in the bottom-six. Everyone knows how loaded the Oilers are on the front-end of their lineup.

Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman has been active during the season. The team’s goaltending has a new look, and the defence has seen one change (Spencer Stastney in, Brett Kulak out), partly due to cap pressure.

Edmonton Oilers captain Leon Draisaitl made history for his country in a dominant qualifying playoff victory that sent Germany into the quarterfinals.

The Edmonton Oilers are heading into the March 6 trade deadline in a familiar spot. After falling just short of a Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons, this team is looking to make a third trip to the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Edmonton Oilers are actively exploring a trade for Nashville Predators center Ryan O’Reilly to strengthen their lineup before the NHL trade deadline. Recent losses and center depth concerns exposed roster gaps despite a strong position in the standings.

In particular, the Canucks are in a position to take back distressed assets that other clubs need to move. One such asset is Edmonton Oilers winger Andrew Mangiapane. The Toronto native has been part of ongoing chatter positing the need to move him as part of a cap-clearing effort.
