Leon Draisaitl did his best at practice Tuesday morning when prodded by the media for a reaction on the three-game suspension handed to his friend and teammate Connor McDavid on Monday.

Here are the report cards for the first half Oilers in 2024-25.

Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist as the league-leading Washington Capitals won their fifth game in a row, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday night.

The difference in the game was great goaltending from Washington’s Logan Thompson — who was strangely left off of the Team Canada roster — and the fact that the Edmonton power play without McDavid was anemic, with not one Grade A shot in three opportunities.

After a few weeks of constant line shuffling, the Oilers are icing what could be considered their "regular" lineup tonight as they visit the Canucks in Vancouver.

The Canucks held on to defeat the Oilers 3-2 on Saturday, ending their four-game win streak after Leon Draisaitl scored twice & Connor McDavid was assessed a match penalty late in regulation

Sidney Crosby had a goal and two assists to move into ninth on the NHL’s career scoring list as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers 5-3.

The Oilers have beaten up on this demographic all season long, with a 5-0 record against the Bruins, Penguins, Rangers, and Islanders. They beat the Penguins 4-0 when they last met on October 25th, the middle of what would become a six-game losing streak for Pittsburgh.

In 1979-80, the Oilers outscored the league average by 20 goals but surrendered 41 more goals than average. When the team won Stanley in 1984, Edmonton outscored the average by a stunning 130 goals, while also giving up two fewer goals than average.

EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid scored the only goal on his 28th birthday, and Stuart Skinner made 30 saves for the Edmonton Oilers in a 1-0 win against the Los Angeles Kings at Rogers Place on Monday. It was McDavid’s 72nd game-winning goal, tying Glenn Anderson for the most in franchise history.

The Oilers leaned on Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to help pull them ... with Henrique playing with a combination of Connor Brown, Mattias Janmark, and Skinner as his wingers.

Oilers 2, Canucks 3 Edmonton Oilers tempted fate once too often on Saturday, and this time they paid for it. They dug yet another deep first-period hole against a spirited Vancouver Canucks squad, allowing all 3 goals in 3½ minutes late in the first period including a pair of powerplay tallies by first star Quinn Hughes.
