Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with a lower-body injury from a hit in Sunday’s win over Nashville; with 97 points in 65 games, he’ll miss 14 regular-season games as Edmonton leans on leadership from McDavid and reshapes its top power-play unit ahead of the April 18 playoffs.
Blues coach Jim Montgomery makes three changes for the second game in as many days against the Edmonton Oilers: forwards Jonatan Berggren and Oskar Sundqvist return while Dalibor Dvorsky and Nathan Walker sit out, with Dvorsky rested due to the number of games he has played. Justin Holl enters on defense for Tyler Tucker. Projected forwards: Holloway-Thomas-Snuggerud; Neighbours-Buchnevich-Kyrou; Otto Stenberg-Suter-Berggren; Toropchenko-Finley-Sundqvist. Defenders: Broberg-Mailloux; Lindstein-Parayko; Fowler-Holl. Goalie: Hofer.
The NHL rescinded Nathan MacKinnon’s game misconduct from Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to Edmonton after a review, effectively removing the ejection and resetting his misconduct tally under league rules; MacKinnon called the decision a mistake and said the league apologized, while the major penalty for the collision with Oilers goalie Connor Ingram remains noted in the game context and no suspension was issued."
Carolina heads to Edmonton to face the Oilers, riding Nikolaj Ehlers’ hat trick and lining up a projected lineup that could feature Kotkaniemi’s return and Nic Deslauriers’ debut, with Frederik Andersen in net as the Hurricanes push toward their 40th win.
Veteran goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, the Florida Panthers’ two-time Vezina winner and pending UFA, is drawing interest from the Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers ahead of the trade deadline, with insiders also mentioning Carolina as a potential contender; despite a down season by his numbers, his playoff track record keeps him in demand as Florida weighs its crease situation.
Chicago sent Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach to Edmonton for Andrew Mangiapane and a top-12 protected 2027 first-round pick, with Chicago retaining 50% of Dickinson’s $4.25 million cap hit. Dickinson, a 30-year-old two-way center, and Dach, 23, in the final year of his entry-level deal, provide Edmonton depth while Chicago continues its rebuild and stockpiles future first-round picks. Mangiapane, 29, signed through 2026-27 at a $3.6 million cap hit and was recently assigned to the AHL after clearing waivers.
With Edmonton landing Connor Murphy and retaining salary, the market for Rasmus Ristolainen shrinks, likely lowering the trade return and tightening Flyers' options as the deadline approaches.
With the trade deadline five days away, Edmonton placed forward Andrew Mangiapane and defenseman Alec Regula on waivers to gain roster and cap flexibility. Mangiapane, 29, has 14 points in 52 games and has been a poor fit for the Oilers, posting a team-worst -17 with unfavorable five-on-five metrics; his no-move clause limited trade options. If he clears waivers, Edmonton could stash him in the minors to save about $1.15 million of his $3.6 million cap hit. Teams such as the Maple Leafs have been linked to Mangiapane, while other players on waivers include Guillaume Brisebois, Robby Fabbri, and Luke Kunin.
Chicago trades right-shot defenseman Connor Murphy to Edmonton for a 2028 second-round pick, with half of Murphy's $4.4M cap hit retained; Murphy, a top shot-blocker and longtime Blackhawk, heads to bolster Edmonton's blueline as Chicago reloads with youth and added draft capital.
Edmonton is cap-constrained with a near-empty prospect pool, forcing the Oilers to target a puck-moving defenseman at the trade deadline while weighing offloading a veteran like Mangiapane. With high prices and limited assets, a blockbuster deal is unlikely and management may settle for a mid-level add or keep the roster intact.
The Edmonton Oilers routed the Los Angeles Kings 8-1 at Crypto.com Arena, jumping to a 2-0 lead and pulling away with a three-goal second period and a three-goal third, with Leon Draisaitl contributing to all three third-period goals.

Edmonton Oilers crushed the Los Angeles Kings 8-1 in a one-sided NHL matchup, with multiple goals from Oilers stars and a comprehensive live-thread recap covering scores, lineup notes, and game flow.
The Los Angeles Kings host the Edmonton Oilers in a playoff-rematch-style regular-season game after a season-worst loss, with Darcy Kuemper likely getting the start in goal and a strong emphasis on fixing late-game breakdowns, improving special-teams execution, and leveraging the remaining 25 games to mount a push.
In a candid piece, Connor McDavid reflects on the weight and purpose of captaining the Oilers, his relentless drive to win, the value of representing Canada from memories of childhood hockey to Olympic return, and how past setbacks fuel his focus while staying loyal to Edmonton.
The Edmonton Oilers placed goaltender Calvin Pickard on waivers, making him the club’s third option behind Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram after 16 games this season (5-6-2, .871 save percentage, 3.68 GAA). Over three seasons he has started 64 regular-season games for Edmonton plus nine in the playoffs. If he clears waivers, he would be assigned to the Bakersfield Condors. The Oilers reshaped their goalie lineup by acquiring Ingram and trading Skinner for Jarry; Jarry has an .872 save percentage in nine starts and Ingram has a .901 save percentage in 11 starts, leaving Edmonton 26th in team save percentage.
