The Edmonton Oilers may have run out of patience with Danny Heatley and may be going after Maxim Afinogenov or Alex Tanguay instead.
UPDATE: I’m also hearing that the Oilers maybe negotiating trades for Kessel or Gagne.
The Anaheim Mighty Ducks beat the Edmonton Oilers tonight in NHL play and pushes the Oilers even further from that elusive playoff spot. The real story for me in this game is how the Oilers were able to mount a comeback late in the game when they were down by a score of 4-1. [...]
OMG Dwayne Roloson was a machine tonight as he made 51 save to steal the game and 7th place in the western conference from the Ducks. Roloson ties his career high in wins with 27 which is very impressive when you consider he did it in 10 fewer games.
I think this season comes down to [...]
With Edmonton’s shootout win in Chicago tonight they extend their winning streak to 3 games and put a little bit of breathing room between themselves and 9th place in the western conference. The Oilers have picked up points in 7 straight games and have only lost in regulation once in their last 10 games.

Its about time, I was really starting to worry.
The Oilers are now in 7th place in the Western conference as they have defeated the St. Louis Blues 2-1 in a shootout. Roli basically put the team on his back and carried them back into a playoff position.

The Oilers have recorded points in 4 straight games.
Patrick O’Sullivan has scored [...]
Ales Hemsky scored in the shootout and rookie Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers stopped 3 shots in the shootout to give the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers and finish their seasons longest road trip with 4 wins and 3 loses. Fernando Pisani and Erik Cole scored in regulation for the Oilers and Deslauriers [...]
The Edmonton Oilers are back on a winning streak in large part to Ales Hemsky finally returning to form. Hemsky stated before the season that his goal is to be a point per game player and up until today had not really played very well but with the 2 goals and an assist against the [...]
The Edmonton Oilers scored 3 goals in the second period to come back from a 2 goal deficit and defeat the Calgary Flames for their 4 victory of the season. The Oilers are now 4 - 0 this season and are one of 2 teams that remain undefeated. Sam Gagner and Sheldon Souray were both [...]
Power play goals from Erik Cole, Lubomir Visnovsky, and Robert Nilsson in the second period lead the Edmonton Oilers to a 4 - 3 road win against the Calgary Flames. It is the first of 6 meetings in the battle of Alberta and the Oilers pick up 2 of a possible 12 points from the [...]
