Here are the report cards for the first half Oilers in 2024-25.

Draisaitl is expected to be a core piece for the Oilers for the foreseeable future. He signed an eight-year, $112 million contract ($14 million average annual value) starting next season and is currently in the final season of an eight-year, $68 million contract ($8.5 million AAV) signed prior to the 2017-2018 season.

As Leon Draisaitl mentioned above, it was a rough start for the Oilers, and they need to fix that. After 20 minutes, they were down 3-0 to the home team. It's safe to say that no team wants that ...

After a few weeks of constant line shuffling, the Oilers are icing what could be considered their "regular" lineup tonight as they visit the Canucks in Vancouver.

Which front office is most ruthless? Who had the best glow-up? And which rookie has been most important to his team?

Darcy Kuemper has 29 saves for the Kings, but Connor McDavid scores in the second period and Stuart Skinner stops 30 shots as Edmonton takes the Pacific Division showdown, 1-0.
