The Edmonton Oilers are officially halfway to the ultimate goal. With two playoff rounds down and two still to go, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on what’s been an unforgettable postseason journey so far. From early stumbles to dominant performances, emotional highs and gut-wrenching lows, the Oilers have ridden the full rollercoaster—but have come out of it looking like a team hitting their stride at exactly the right time.

On today’s episode of Oilersnation Everyday, we’ll take a step back and evaluate everything that’s brought the Oilers to this point. How has their game evolved since the puck dropped on Round 1? What’s been the biggest difference in their structure, and where have the key turning points been? We’ll also look ahead to Round 3, discussing potential lineup combinations, the injury status of Mattias Ekholm, and the looming goaltending decision between Calvin Pickard and Stuart Skinner.

We’ll deliver our One Big Take, ask the Sherwood Ford Giant Question, and go around the rest of the league with our NHL Playoff Report as the Final Four begins to take shape. To wrap things up, we’ll serve up some weekend picks with help from our friends at Bet365.

The Oilers are heating up—and if the second half of the playoffs is anything like the first, we’re in for a wild ride.

The Edmonton Oilers are heading back to the Western Conference Final—again. It only took five games to dispatch the Vegas Golden Knights, as the Oilers shut out them out 1-0 in an intense, defensive Game 5 showdown. It was playoff hockey at its tightest, with both teams playing a conservative, high-pressure game from puck drop to the final buzzer. But it was the Oilers who found the breakthrough.

After 60 minutes of scoreless hockey, the game headed to overtime where Kasperi Kapanen played the hero. The veteran winger crashed the crease and banged home a loose puck at the side of the net, giving the Oilers the win and officially punching their ticket to the Western Conference Final for the third time in the last four seasons. It was another masterclass from Stuart Skinner, who recorded his second straight shutout—stopping all 24 shots he faced. He now sits at 127 consecutive minutes of shutout hockey and is peaking at the right time.

On today’s episode of Oilersnation Everyday, we’ll break down everything from Game 5. From our full scoring summary to the biggest moments of the night, we’ll take you through how the Oilers got it done. We’ll give you our One Big Take, tackle the Sherwood Ford Giant Question, and go around the rest of the NHL as the second round winds down and we wait to see who Edmonton’s next opponent will be.

The job isn’t finished, but the Oilers have made a major statement—and the city of Edmonton is buzzing. Let’s talk about it.

The Edmonton Oilers are staring down a massive opportunity tonight in Las Vegas. After dropping the Game 3 of this second-round series, the Oilers delivered one of their best performances of the season, and now have a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5 at T-Mobile Arena. They’re one win away from advancing to the Western Conference Final—and if their performance in Game 4 is any indication, they’re trending in the right direction.

Stuart Skinner silenced critics and delivered his best performance of the postseason in Game 4, stopping all 23 shots he faced to secure his second career playoff shutout. The Oilers’ depth continues to shine, with Adam Henrique scoring twice and Evander Kane chipping in with another gritty goal. It was a statement night from Edmonton, and now they have a chance to finish off the Golden Knights in their own building. But Vegas won’t go quietly—expect a desperate, physical response from a team fighting to keep its season alive.

On today’s episode of Oilersnation Everyday, we’ll preview every angle of Game 5. We’ll have our full lineup report, break down key game notes, deliver our Sherwood Ford Giant Question, give you our One Big Take, and check in with the Bet365 Gameday Betting Challenge. Can the Oilers replicate the effort and composure they showed in Game 4? And what kind of storm will they need to weather from Vegas early on?

Later in the show, we’ll be joined by Oilersnation writer Bruce Curlock to dig deeper into what’s gone right for the Oilers in this series, how Stuart Skinner has responded under pressure, and whether or not he believes Edmonton will close out the series tonight—or if this thing is heading back to Rogers Place for a Game 6.

The Edmonton Oilers have taken a 3-1 series lead over the Vegas Golden Knights after a dominant 3-0 win in Game 4 at Rogers Place. Stuart Skinner delivered one of his best performances of the postseason, stopping all 23 shots he faced to record his second career playoff shutout.

The Oilers leaned on their depth once again, with Adam Henrique scoring twice in the first period and Evander Kane adding the third. While Edmonton controlled the scoreboard, emotions boiled over throughout the game—especially from Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill, who took multiple shots at both Zach Hyman and Evander Kane as frustration mounted.

We'll break down everything from the win with our full scoring summary, one big take from the night, and our Sherwood Ford Giant Question.

Plus, we’ve got a double guest day on the show. First, Jeff Marek, host of The Sheet on Daily Faceoff, joins us to analyze the series so far and explain why the Oilers are looking more and more like a team built for a deep playoff run. Later, we’ll be joined by Arjun Atwal, who was recently nominated for the Willie O'Ree Community Hero Award, to chat about his incredible community work and what this recognition means to him.

Don't miss our playoff report from around the NHL and a fresh edition of "What's Trending" as the second round heats up.

The Edmonton Oilers had a chance to take a 3-0 series lead on Saturday night… until disaster struck. Reilly Smith scored the game-winning goal for the Golden Knights with just 0.4 seconds left on the clock, stunning Oil Country and stealing Game 3 in dramatic fashion. It was a crushing end to what started as a great night for the Oilers, who jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first period before Vegas clawed their way back into the game. Connor McDavid tied it late to give Edmonton life, but the Oilers now face a pivotal Game 4 tonight with the series at 2-1.

On today’s edition of Oilersnation Everyday, we’ll recap everything that happened in Game 3—what went wrong, who stepped up, and how things fell apart in the dying seconds. We’ll dig into the controversial final sequence, the Oilers’ defensive lapses, and the decision to go back to Stuart Skinner for Game 4. Confidence in the crease is once again a major storyline, and we’ll give our take on whether the Oilers are making the right call between the pipes.

We’ll also look ahead to tonight’s massive Game 4 matchup, as the Oilers still have a chance to take a 3-1 stranglehold on the series before heading back to Vegas. What do they need to change? What’s working? What’s not? We’ll cover it all with our full game day lineup report, game notes, our Sherwood Ford Giant Question, one big take, and the Bet365 betting challenge.

Plus, Sportsnet analyst Louie DeBrusk joins the show to break down the heartbreak from Game 3, weigh in on the goaltending decision, and give his thoughts on what the Oilers need to do tonight to bounce back and grab control of this second-round series.
