A serious injury to goalie Anton Forsberg silenced the capacity crowd and took the life out of what had been a wildly entertaining game, which the Senators ...

97 was in the vicinity of the net, Hyman just threw a puck wide of the net, where McDavid played it off the carom and threw it at Forsberg’s feet. The Oilers outshot the Senators 40-29. He’s a leader and it just sucks to see that.” While Edmonton was back in action with two games this week (a win in Detroit Tuesday and shootout loss to Philadelphia Thursday), the Sens hadn’t played since Jan. On a ridiculous solo effort by McDavid while shorthanded, the visitors moved up 3-1. Smith was lamenting a couple of big mistakes that cost the Sens in this game. Given the long layoff before and after the All-Star Game, this matinee figured to be problematic. But the No. A big, strong, tough guy, Forsberg was grimacing in pain as he left the ice with an apparent injury to his leg after he got twisted up with Hyman. To make matters worse, Ottawa’s brilliant rookie defenceman, Jake Sanderson, also left the game in the third period with an undisclosed injury. Sogaard stopped all three shots he faced in the final five-plus minutes of Saturday’s game. Forsberg was trying to make a save on an Edmonton power play when Oilers forward [Zach Hyman](/hockey/nhl/players/zach-hyman/555393) fell on him.

The Edmonton Oilers have made it clear that acquiring a puck-moving defenceman is a priority ahead of the trade deadline and there's a possibility Erik ...

Unless he's traded by them, I think we wonder if this is the next chapter in the Jesse Puljujarvi saga in Edmonton." "We're all watching the waiver wire Tuesday," Marek said. "Look, a bunch of guys were just together at the All Star Game — maybe there was some arm twisting, who knows.

Puljujarvi scores the game-winner, McDavid records three points and Hyman hits 300 for his career with a multi-point effort on Saturday afternoon.

"Yeah, it was really fun to be in the lineup again and I tried to really help the team," Puljujarvi said. Concern was directed to the Senators crease and Forsberg soon after, however, when he was unable to get up after Hyman was forced into the goalie before the puck was put in by Nugent-Hopkins. I'm stuck on him because there's a guy who's on top of me pushing me in, so if you watch the replay, I go in and try to avoid him, and then all of a sudden, I get a cross check in the back. "You hear him go down and you hear him in pain. The Finnish winger accepted a two-line pass from Brett Kulak as he entered the Ottawa zone before resetting himself to rip his fifth goal of the season clean past Forsberg on the far side to make it 4-3 Oilers with just over 17 minutes to play. I just tried to throw it over there and I think I got a little bit lucky. Then as you get older, you just try to get better and just kind of continue to progress." McDavid pursued Thomas Chabot into the Ottawa zone and stripped the defender of the puck, brushing off the responding pressure from two Senators before throwing a backhand pass through the black jerseys and onto the tape of Ryan McLeod unmarked at the back post. On the road, the captain has been simply uncontainable, registering a point in 25 of Edmonton's last 26 road games for a whopping 13 goals and 21 assists after pencilling in with a goal and two helpers on the scoresheet Saturday afternoon. Hyman went to the backhand and beat Forsberg for the 2-1 advantage, while increasing his season output through 52 games to 27 goals and 35 assists. Connor McDavid recorded a goal and two assists to stretch his point streak to 15 games and make it points in 25 of his last 26 road games. Before Forsberg could reset, the puck already had struck the back of his skate and found its way over the line for an early 1-0 Oilers lead at 2:18 of the first period.

We're all used to seeing Connor McDavid casually dangle through a whole team from one of the ice to the other, but it turns out he's got a lot of hustle to ...

The Edmonton Oilers score two shorthanded goals on the way to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators Saturday. “We found goals up and down the lineup.

Forsberg suffered a leg injury in the goal mouth scramble leading to the goal. McDavid’s drive to the net was sealed off, but he held on to the puck and threaded a backhand pass to Ryan McLeod, who flicked in his tenth. Claude Giroux had a pass go in off his skate for a power play 17 seconds later. While killing a penalty, McDavid stole the puck from Thomas Chabot in the Senators end. The Senators tied it 21 seconds into the second on a goal by Jake Sanderson. They’re a difficult team to play against and credit to them because they have some dangerous people, but we found a way to get it done in the third period.

The Oilers continued their torrid assault on 1st place in the Pacific Division Saturday with a 6-3 matinee victory over the Ottawa Senators.

“I try to avoid him and I get a crosscheck in the back. “You hear him go down and you hear him in pain. “It’s fun to score, it’s not something that happens every game,” said Puljujarvi. “The reaction of his teammates when he scored that goal shows how close our team is and how everyone is so happy for him, including the coaching staff. His fifth goal of the season and second point since Dec. “I like going to the backhand on breakaways so I thought that would be the first move,” said Hyman, who had never taken a penalty shot in his career. They scored a goal at 2:18 (McDavid’s league-leading 42nd of the season), drew two penalties and were up 13-2 on the shot clock through 15 minutes. “We didn’t know what to expect; they hadn’t played in a long time. A big team win.” 9 in Los Angeles. “Winning teams get contributions up and down the lineup and through all three areas of the game — power play, penalty kill and five-on-five,” said Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who had a three-point morning.

Let's try and recap that day that it has been. While the Oilers were playing the Ottawa Senators earlier in the day, Chris Johnston dropped the nugget that ...

Look at their ability to have puck-moving defencemen in their lineup as the key players. I keep coming back to the defence that the cup-winning Colorado Avalanche had last year. The names Joel Edmundson and Vladislav Gavrikov were thrown around relentlessly, but that seems to have changed. Wild stuff to even be considering the fact the Oilers could land a superstar defenceman like Karlsson in a deal, but here we are. So basically, what Edmonton — if they’re going to do this — they’re going to need San Jose to eat about $4.5-$5-million in that range for the next four seasons.Nobody knows at this point in time if San Jose is going to be willing to do that. And here’s the thing about Karlsson: for this to work it’s got to be about a $6.5-$7-million player for the Oilers.

The Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks have re-engaged on Erik Karlsson trade discussions, according to TSN Hockey insider Chris Johnston.

The point total is Karlsson's highest since he finished with 71 in 2016-17 and just 12 off of his career high of 82 in 2015-16. Karlsson is in the fourth year of an eight-year, $92 million contract he signed with the Sharks on Jun. It carries an AAV of $11.5 million through the 2026-27 season.

Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman had a goal and an assist each to lead the Edmonton Oilers past the Ottawa Senators 6-3 on Saturday.

The Senators were 3-2 winners in overtime in Ottawa on Jan. The Oilers were 1-4 on the power play. At 1:44, after being hooked by Alex DeBrincat, Hyman scored on his penalty shot to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead. Kulak made a great cross-ice pass into the Senators zone for Jesse Puljujarvi who beat Anton Forsberg in the Ottawa goal at 3:05 of the third period. "Just the way he takes care of himself on the ice, off the ice, how great of a pro he is and how good of a person he is too, you never want to see that," The Ottawa Senators were playing their first game since Jan.

With the NHL trading deadline starting to loom closer, perhaps what was true about the team's roster intentions in November may not be true now in mid-February.

And the better the Oilers are doing, the higher they climb in the standings, the easier it becomes for the Oilers G.M. The Oilers need to be successful in getting the Sharks to eat…close to 40% of the salary. And would Eric Karlsson have had the opportunity to chat with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl at the All-Star game? The Oilers are not just a depth D-man away from a Cup. But if players are being told to up-end their lives and relocate (be it within the organization or outside of it), doing so once you are home as opposed to a hotel on the road is a classier, more human way of handing that kind of business. If that part of his game is (in light of the injury) back in the mix again, he re-emerges as a legit deterrent in this lineup. The veteran Ryan does so many little things right each night, his offensive contributions are really just gravy on top of it all. or the “arena-hell” situation Calgary is mired in…I know I prefer Mr. The evidence is in the Condors grads in Oilers jerseys today. Two players making significant noise for the Bakersfield Condors in the last 60 days were Raphael Lavoie and Noah Philp. The other on an impressive winning streak. They are 9-0-2 in their last 11.

Jesse Puljujarvi barely avoided the waiver wire this week, then got a chance to be the hero with a game-winning goal. The drama seemingly never ends for the ...

And the player whose analytics have been twisted into pretzels for so many years is not, in fact, Edmonton’s “best defensive forward,” as some of his fans have asserted. one of the hard things is it means some good forwards don't get in the lineup. [posed for that picture](https://fortsaskonline.com/articles/oilers-rw-jesse-puljujarivi-meets-bison-in-einp-describes-it-as-nice-and-kind) at Elk Island National Park with a bison in the background, and the Bison King was born. “It was really fun to be again in the lineup, and try to help the team somehow. It’s been a long, rocky ride for Puljujarvi in Edmonton, as the realization sets in that 2016’s fourth-overall draft pick has become waiver fodder in 2023. But the team decided to hold Yamamoto back, and then Warren Foegele didn’t practice on Friday after taking a Philip Broberg shot off the back of his leg.
