After a dispiriting home stand, Edmonton Oilers take their show on the road tonight for the first time this 2024-25 NHL season. The Oil convincingly lost their first three games in regulation, and were on the verge of dropping the fourth against Philadelphia before their big guns delivered the late tying goal followed by the overtime winner to salvage two points from the four-game set. Which isn't great, but still beats the heck out of the alternative that was staring them in the face at the last TV timeout on Tuesday. Read More
