The first Edmonton Oilers hat trick by a defenseman in 20 years! 🧢 📺: Sportsnet or stream on Sportsnet+ ➡️ watch.sportsnet.ca

Jack Michaels always brings the damn energy on the Oilers’ broadcasts

Bouchard was unreal tonight. Finishes with 3-3-6. Joins Paul Coffey (2x) and Kevin Lowe (1x) as only Oilers D-men with six points in a game.

I find this amusing and interesting and I don’t know who else does, but McDavid just passed Hull in 300 fewer games. Next will be Fedorov in 500 fewer. Then Brindamour in 700 fewer. Finally Marleau in 1000 fewer games. All will happen in the next few weeks.

Josh Samanski Thread: I'll address why I think he was recalled and also Ike Howard in another thread. Here is what the Oilers get in Samanski. 6'3", 200 pound left shot C. He is tied for 6th in the entire AHL in 5v5 scoring with 22 points. He's 23 years old. 1/8

Folks, what the Oilers organization is doing should give you hope for the future. To be able to have scouting and development groups that can give a NHL HC options from within to try and solve some issues is a good thing. It's been sometime since the Oilers could do this.

Looking over some Clear Sight Analytics Hockey in Clear Sight numbers from last week and holy crap that Oilers-Capitals game was 🍌🍌🍌… not sure I’ve seen totals that high on both sides before, looks like an All Star Game … 11 combined goals and still below XG 👀

The rest of the Oilers defense took the Bouchard performance as a challenge.

Sloppy night by the #Oilers but they hang on to beat Anaheim 7-4 on the strength of for goals from their defence. Mattias Ekholm pots the ENG for his first career hat-trick. Will need much cleaner puck management moving forward, but they escape with good secondary scoring.

No Oiler d-man had a hat trick for 20 years entering Saturday—48 hours later, they’re the first team in NHL history to get hat tricks from a d-man in consecutive games.

Mattias Ekholm, Darnell Nurse and Spencer Stastney combined for the fastest four goals by defensemen in NHL history and propelled the Edmonton Oilers to victory. #NHLStats: media.nhl.com/public/live-up…

In his NHL debut for the Edmonton Oilers Josh Samanski had a solid showing TOI: 7:43 +/-: +2 3-1 Face-Offs. Showed some speed, battled. Just missed his first NHL goal. On the right side of the puck all night!

Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard have been on an absolute tear 🔥 📺: Sharks vs. Oilers at 9pm ET / 7pm MT on SN1 or stream on Sportsnet+

Zach Hyman has put multiple shots on net from the slot in 14 straight games, tied for the longest streak of the season. He has 10 goals in that span, 5th most in the league. Oilers host the Sharks tonight.

“Holy (s—-) Connor, you can still do this.” Connor Ingram kept a photo of him leaving ice in Chicago in February, thinking it might be his last #NHL game. Inside Ingram’s road back from a “dark” place to Edmonton Oilers crease. Utah Mammoth nytimes.com/athletic/70047…

I love this goal by Roby Jarventie. This is NHL level stuff from a big man. cc: Bob Stauffer

Gotta get a “Holestedt” chant going now! #LetsGoOilers
