Though their playoff hopes have been dashed, the Vancouver Canucks still have something to play for in their season finale at Edmonton on Friday night.

So for us the back-to-back will factor into our decision-making for (Friday) night’s lineup.” “We’ll make our decisions then.” “We found a way to win,” Edmonton coach Jay Woodcroft said. Mikko Koskinen made 40 saves as the Oilers improved to 13-0-1 in their past 14 home games. “It’s pretty amazing where we are right now compared to the beginning of the year, and we take a lot of pride in that. It’s not going to surprise me (Friday) night if they’re going to fight again in Edmonton.”

It makes a ton of sense for the Oilers to rest both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, for one. After the game last night, Jay Woodcroft wasn't giving up much ...

All hands will need to be on deck and Broberg might fit the bill. While I like the makeup of the Oilers backend already, especially with Brett Kulak there, I wonder if the Oilers choose to play Broberg and go 11/7 in game one of the playoffs. It was mentioned by @bcurlock on Twitter Thursday, and I wonder if it could work. What he did say, however, is that the team being in a back-to-back situation could factor into things. It means the Oilers are now 9-0 at home with Ben Stelter in the stands, and I just think that’s pretty neat. It makes a ton of sense for the Oilers to rest both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, for one.

It's Friday and we've got some NHL rumours to end the work week. We've got items on the Rangers, Oilers and Devils.

There’s also a load of NHL assistants that have previous head coaching experience in the league. The Rangers have a legitimate shot of making a run and Copp has played a big hand in that. Analysis: Management is said to be 50/50 on if they’ll keep the Ruff as bench boss. Edmonton is a new team after Jay Woodcroft was put behind the bench and the addition of Kane were huge parts of that. General Manager Chris Drury is going to do what he can to keep the versatile forward and he should. Motte has only played 10 games, but Copp and Vatrano have been fantastic for the Rangers.

The Edmonton Oilers have settled into the second spot in the Pacific Division thanks to a 13-3-1 run over the last month. They'll face the Los Angeles Kings ...

You can tell, we’ve been rallying around him and we see him in warm-ups and we see him after the game.” Today Upper Deck has made you a hockey card, your very own.” –@cmcdavid97on Ben Stelter’s trading card #CollectTheBest pic.twitter.com/MXjJrNkKPb The tumor returned and more treatment has been needed. They’ll face the Los Angeles Kings in the First Round next week, but before they shifted their focus to the playoffs, there was one final regular-season practice to hold. “It was a cool experience for him and for us to have him out on the ice today and talk to him after a little bit, he had a lot of fun,” said Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on Thursday. “He’s been a real inspiration for us. According to the Oilers, he needed surgery, four rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiation treatment sessions.

The Edmonton Oilers and Evander Kane, and the New York Rangers and Andrew Copp. On the Vancouver Canucks Ekman-Larsson, Boeser and Kuzmenko.

Likewise for Evander Kane and the Oilers. But you wonder about the term between Kane and the Oilers. Is three years too much? Perfect fit with Artemi Panarin. And Evander Kane has been an excellent complement on the left side with Connor McDavid. But you do have to go through the negotiation. Will the Canucks want to commit big money or will they try to trade him when his value is low.

The Edmonton Oilers provide a unique challenge for the LA Kings with a high-powered offense. Here's how LA can slow them down.

The Kings can look to exploit the Oilers’ blueline and goaltending. Not many changes need to be made, but those changes could result in a series win and a long playoff push for the Kings. It will be important that LA are the ones to dictate the play and not get caught up in the end-to-end rushes, or they will get burned. LA can utilize the speed of Kempe, Trevor Moore, Andreas Athanasiou, and the tenacity of Lemieux and Blake Lizotte to beat a shaky Oilers defense. Although LA went 1-2-1 against Edmonton during the season, there are reasons for the Kings to be confident. After dealing with many injuries throughout the season, the LA Kings have fought through their share of adversity.

NHL rumors: Canucks to-do list, Oilers and Rangers working on free agent deals, Golden Knights purge and Kraken blue line target.

Based on a discussion between Eric Engels and Jeff Marek of Sportsnet, the belief seems to be that defenseman John Klingberg is destined for Seattle and will join the Kraken this summer as a free agent, quarterbacking their power play. Jim is a daily must for readers who want to be “in the know.” A team that vowed to win the Stanley Cup in their first six seasons has a lot of issues to address this summer after not making the postseason. The Golden Knights have no cap space, no top draft picks, and a thin prospect cupboard. He believes realistic comparables for both players could see them land in the $8- to $9-million range. The big name out there is Andrei Kuzmenko, the second-leading scorer in the KHL this season.

COVID-19 restrictions pushed the NHL behind closed doors and inside its post-season bubbles. That will change next week when the Leafs, Oilers and Flames ...

But also around the arena, in the grocery store and just that buzz around the city. Edmonton was then upset by Chicago in the bubble and swept by the Winnipeg Jets last May in front of swaths of empty seats. The Bruins would also win Game 7 back at TD Garden to eliminate their Original Six rival in the opening round for the second straight year. “It was nice to see that we were still getting some attendance down there,” Leafs winger Wayne Simmonds added. “The atmosphere is going to be incredible. The players know what’s at stake, and the play on the ice was still very competitive.
