EDMONTON, AB - "We want to bridge the gap or close the gap to the best teams in the National Hockey League," Head Coach Jay Woodcroft said at Rogers Place following Tuesday's practice.

"In order for our team and our group this year to do that, there are some things that have to get done."

The Edmonton Oilers held their morning meeting on Tuesday before taking to the ice for practice as they continue to hammer away at their process in preparation for the Stanley Cup Playoffs over the remaining 11 games of their regular-season schedule.

"We're trying to finish as high as we can, we're trying to gain as many points as we can, but probably most importantly... we want to make sure our game is in the right place," he added. "We want to make sure that we're using these last 11 dress rehearsals in the right manner so that we're ready when Game 83 hits.

"We're not going to be perfect, but we hope to capture learning moments and improve and get better so that we are ready for Game 83."

Tuesday was a maintenance day for the likes of Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Leon Draisaitl, Mattias Ekholm and Darnell Nurse, but included a hard 30-minute, competition-focused skate for the rest of the roster under the lead of assistant coaches Glen Gulutzan, Dave Manson and Mark Stuart before Wednesday's visit to Rogers Place from the surging Arizona Coyotes, who've won four straight and are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games.

EDMONTON, AB - Defenceman Mattias Ekholm scored twice, tying the game on his eighth goal of the season with 3:47 left in regulation, before Darnell Nurse secured the Edmonton Oilers the extra point with 15 seconds on the clock in overtime on Monday night in a 5-4 victory over the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Place.

"I thought at home, that was great that he found those two very important goals at important junctures in the game," Head Coach Jay Woodcroft said. "For Darnell to get the one in overtime, I thought it was excellent."

Ekholm earned the decision in the Battle of the EK's, besting San Jose defenceman and Norris Trophy candidate Erik Karlsson, who was vital to the Sharks push for the win on Monday with two goals but couldn't chase down Nurse in the final moments of sudden death. 

"We could have been a lot better tonight I thought, but at the same time, these games are hard," Ekholm said. "You've got to work yourself up, you got to get yourself going, and we snuck it out. Obviously we could have been better, but it's hard to win in this league, so we'll take it and move on."

Sharks goaltender James Reimer made 46 saves on 51 shots, including a massive last-minute stop on Leon Draisaitl, but couldn't come up with the final save when Nurse flew down the bench side of the ice late in extra time and beat the netminder five-hole for the game-winner.

"I think we can contribute from the back end," Ekholm said. "I think we have great guys up front that can do it, so it's going to be a team effort and especially come playoffs, I know how big that is because obviously anyone that plays Edmonton is going to have a pretty heavy emphasis on those two guys (McDavid and Draisaitl). All the other guys need to step up."

Kailer Yamamoto had a goal and assist for the Oilers, providing the pass up the wall that led to Nurse's OT winner, while Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all contributed two helpers in the victory. Making his first start since Mar. 4, netminder Jack Campbell stopped 28-of-32 shots for his 18th win of the campaign.

The Oilers are now winners of four games in a row overall and six straight over the Sharks, including all five meetings during the 2023 calendar year. Edmonton now owns a record of 40-23-8 with 88 points, good for third in the Pacific Division and a five-point on the Seattle Kraken with two extra games played.

The Oilers look to keep their solid 15-game stretch at Rogers Place (10-1-4) rolling into Wednesday's meeting with the Arizona Coyotes.

EDMONTON, AB - It took everyone in their star-studded lineup to earn two valuable points.

The Edmonton Oilers took down the Central Division-leading Dallas Stars on Thursday night, receiving 25 saves from Stuart Skinner and two goals from Mattias Janmark in a 4-1 victory at Rogers Place that marks back-to-back victories on home ice for the Blue & Orange.

"I think the guys did a great job in front of me," Skinner said. "Just a huge credit to the guys being able to box them out, not giving those second chances and being able to get in front of lanes and get sticks."

"They could've had a lot, but were able to just play a good defensive game -- especially in the second period."

Janmark scored the game-winner shorthanded in the opening frame before adding the empty-netter in the final three minutes of regulation for his second multi-goal game of the season, while Connor McDavid's 39th multi-point game of the campaign with a goal and assist made the captain the first 130-point scorer in the NHL since the 1992-93 NHL season.

Evan Bouchard posted two assists, and Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Vincent Desharnais contributed single helpers in the victory that improves Edmonton's record to 38-23-8 and 84 points.

EDMONTON, AB - Leave it to Leon -- the offensive driver, the leader and the legend.

With two goals as part of a line with Warren Foegele and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Leon Draisaitl eclipsed the century mark for points in a season for the fourth time in his nine-year NHL career by recording points number 99 and 100 on Tuesday night in a 6-3 victory at Rogers Place over the Ottawa Senators.

"I feel very fortunate. Obviously, very happy about it," Draisaitl stated post-game. "But this is my job. This is what I get paid to do, right? And I couldn't do it without any of these guys in here. I'm well aware of that and very appreciative of them finding me and putting me in the right spots, so very happy about that."

In a game where the Oilers had to find their footing in the first period despite scoring the opening goal, Draisaitl was the driver at both ends for Edmonton, whose German star looked simply untouchable and unbeatable in the eyes of his teammates and coaches.

For them, it wasn't even a discussion.

"In the end, we found goals from Derek Ryan, Nick Bjugstad and Warren Foegele had a heck of a game," Woodcroft said. "But I thought the best player on the ice tonight was Leon Draisaitl by a country mile."

"I thought he played the game like he was on a mission."

EDMONTON, AB - Even without his skates on, Connor McDavid knows how to get a Rogers Place crowd on its feet.

The Edmonton Oilers captain was on stage at the 52nd annual JUNO Awards being hosted at Rogers Place on Monday night to present Hanna, Alberta rock legends Nickelback with their induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Following an introduction from Canadian actor and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds, McDavid was greeted to heavy applause before the "MVP! MVP! MVP!" chants rained down on the world's greatest player that's certain to pick up some of his own accolades at the end of this NHL season, having already amassed 55 goals and 127 points in 67 games for the Oilers.

"You guys are too much," McDavid said to the cheers. "You guys know how much I love playing here in front of you guys."

McDavid continued his speech, citing legacies and excellence for the players (and bands) who change the game. "Like you," a fan screamed, drawing a laugh and acknowledgement from number 97, who will undoubtedly have his place in the Hockey Hall of Fame one day.

The 26-year-old brought up great memories and loud nights thanks to Nickelback before bringing 'The Pride of Alberta' up onto the stage to deliver their induction speech.

"How badass is it to be in Edmonton and have the best hockey player in the world right now give that to us?" Chad Kroeger, lead guitarist and singer for Nickelback, said to start his speech.
