That hit by Hyman, was everything!

Great stuff #Oilers !!!

Gift 2: Ekholm’s back. #Oilers

Worth a read, McDavid and Kapanen’s dad are on this list. #Oilers

What a difference last night with McDavid back in the lineup. It was getting depressing. #Oilers !!!

#RedSox are also back: 2 Ls in a row after Opening Day win.

Draisatl’s back. #Oilers !!

Stuart Skinner, who left Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Stars in the third period, is considered day-to-day, head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters on Thursday ahead of their match against the Seattle Kraken. https://oilerhockey.com/article/22190

#RedSox won on Opening Day at Texas, decent start by Crochet. Abreu 2 HRs including the game winner. Houck tomorrow 8:05 EST

Thanks. #Oilers needed 2nd level scoring support, now with no 97 or 29 they’re being forced to step up, so it’s a good thing as long as those two are alright.

The Edmonton Oilers made some solid additions to their roster at the NHL trade deadline. Jake Walman, a big defenseman from the San Jose Sharks was their biggest addition. But depth offense has been their biggest issue this season and they added Tren... https://oilerhockey.com/article/21539

Sweet. Thank you, Leon. That sequence was getting frustrating. #Oilers tie it at 2

3 losses in a row and now #Oilers have to play Florida.

What a fantastic save by Stuart Skinner early in this game! 📹: Sportsnet

Point’s a bad guy tonight #4Nations

Spoke too soon, 1-1 #Oilers - #Lightning Giving TB a lot of chances.

That’s it #Oilers !! 97 to Draisatl power play goal 1-0. EDM coming off games where they gave up 6 and 7 goals.

Connor got his first gold 🥇 and now it's time for his first Stanley Cup 🍶 The man and the fire 🔥 is back. It's time for Connor and Drai and the rest of the #LetsGoOilers

According to ESPN, last night's 4-nation game averaged over 9.2 Million viewers!!!! It is the most-watched non-Olympic hockey game! Between US and Canada, there were 16.1 million viewers, almost as much as last year's Game 7 final (16.3)!!! The crazy part is that this was a Thursday weekday game.

MARNER TO MCDAVID

#UCONNHuskies play Brass Bonanza, the old #HartfordWhalers song, when they score a goal. 10th ranked #Huskies up 1-0 over 4th ranked Maine early in the 1st. @hartfordwhale.bsky.social

Team Canada is still on top.Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in the final of the 4 Nations Face-Off on Thursday with an overtime winner from Connor McDavid at the 8:18 mark of the extra frame.It's Canada's fourth straight win at a best-on-best i... https://oilerhockey.com/article/20899

McDavid the 1st draft pick in 2015. Mitch Marner the 4th. Combined for GWG #4Nations

CONNOR McDAVID!!!! 🇨🇦 CANADA #4Nations CHAMPS

McDavid!! Love it. Canada wins 3-2 in OT.

Fun fact: Corey Perry has 1453 penalty minutes in his NHL regular season career. In other words, this man has spent more than an entire day of his life in an NHL penalty box. Of all active players, he is only beaten out by Tom Wilson, who has 1482. #nhl #edmontonoilers #washingtoncapitals

THE OILERS SECURE TWO POINTS IN OVERTIME! 📹: Sportsnet

I was going to complain that Draisatl and McDavid had to bail out the #Oilers for a late goal and then an OT win last night, but when you’ve got those guys, who can complain? At #Blackhawks tonight 9:30 EST

The jury is still out on John Klingberg, but the Oilers need to be looking for upgrades regardless

Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz puts a hold on Trump's State Department nominees…Chris Murphy also making me proud to be from Connecticut lately.

16 shots were enough for DAL to beat VAN 5-3 yesterday. #Stars 2 empty net goals.

#Oilers loss last night didn’t feel right. 47 shots, but they lost the 2nd and 3rd periods plus the shootout. Tough matchup tomorrow 7 PM EST vs #MapleLeafs

Getting the stick ready for some hockey on this frozen pond. 🦅🏒 #birds #Connecticut

What happened to #LAKings ? They’ve lost 5 of their last 12, lost tonight to FLA 3-0

First place in the Pacific division for #Oilers !! I heard that’s the first time in 5 years

No doubts in #Oilers 6-2 win last night, they led 3-0 after 1. Buffalo tomorrow 4 PM EST in their last game -McDavid

Leon Draisaitl is unstoppable for the Oilers, Zach Hyman sheds the bubble, and a Corey Perry masterclass
