Edmonton Oilers 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
For the second consecutive year, the Edmonton Oilers found heartbreak in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, losing to the Florida Panthers in six games.
The Edmonton Oilers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the sixth consecutive season this past year. In 2024, the Oilers lost a heartbreaker to the Florida Panthers in a seven-game Stanley Cup Final. Kris Knoblauch has proven to be an astute choice as the head coach since taking over during the 2023-24 season. However, Edmonton remains a top-heavy team and lost a lot of depth over the summer. Still, the Oilers have the best player in the game with Connor McDavid. Additionally, they boast one of the NHL’s great goal scorers in Leon Draisaitl. Edmonton will be in the mix for another Stanley Cup run in the season ahead.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Andrew Mangiapane, Ike Howard, Curtis Lazar
Out: Evander Kane, Viktor Arvidsson, Connor Brown, Corey Perry, John Klingberg
For the Oilers, everything hinges on their two rookies. They need one or both of Ike Howard and Matthew Savoie to be good from the jump.
That’s because a lot of their forward depth has been turned over this summer. Gone are Evander Kane, Viktor Arvidsson, Connor Brown, and Corey Perry — all of whom looked like serviceable middle-six talents. In their place is only Andrew Mangiapane, who could have some upside in a bigger role, but is coming off a down year with the Capitals.
The Oilers have lost a lot on paper. They’re still an elite team, but how Edmonton responds internally — with the rookies as focal points — will dictate how far the Oilers can go next season.
The new deals for Evan Bouchard and Trent Frederic played a major role in another challenging offseason for Edmonton.
Like other teams in championship windows, the Oilers' goal was to maximize their cap space strategically. For example, Oilers GM Stan Bowman's decision to trade Kane ($5.125 million cap hit) was followed up by signing Mangiapane and Lazar ($4.375 million combined) to stretch their dollars.
Another way the team can help manage their salary concerns is by trusting young players, such as Matt Savoie, with a bigger role, while determining whether David Tomasek, the 29-year-old Czech forward they signed in April, can earn a roster spot out of training camp.
Key Players
Connor McDavid is known as one of the best players in hockey. McDavid was the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft by the Oilers. McDavid is a seven-time NHL All-Star, a five-time Art Ross Trophy winner as the NHL’s top scorer, and a three-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner as NHL. This past year, McDavid has 26 goals, 73 assists, 99 points, and a +19.
C Leon Draisaitl was the third overall pick of the 2014 NHL Draft by Edmonton. He is a five-time NHL All-Star and the winner of the 2020 Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL MVP. Last year, he scored 52 goals, 54 assists, 106 points, and a +32.
Goaltenders
Number one goaltender Stuart Skinner began his NHL career in 2021-22 with Edmonton and became the number one netminder last year. Last year, Skinner had a 2.87 goals against average and a .894 save percentage. His record is 25-18-4 with two shutouts.
Head Coach
Head coach Kris Knoblauch, an interim rookie coach, led the Edmonton team to a 46-18-5 record after taking over in the 2023-24 season. He previously coached in the Canadian Major Junior ranks and minor leagues. His career record is 92-46-10.

Edmonton Oilers History
The Oilers were born as a member of the World Hockey Association in 1972. They are best remembered for assembling one of the greatest teams in NHL history in the 1980s. Edmonton won five Stanley Cups from 1984 through 1990. Those teams lit up the marquee with stars such as Paul Coffey, Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri, and Mark Messier.
When Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988, Canada mourned and burned in effigy the then-owner of the Edmonton Oilers, Peter Pocklington. But in 1990, the remaining players rallied to win the franchise’s fifth and final Stanley Cup.
Following that last Stanley Cup, the Oilers suffered the same fate as other Canadian teams in the 1990s. The Canadian dollar was weak at the time, and there was no salary cap in place. However, in 2006, the NHL was emerging from a lockout and a lost season. The league was able to win a hard-fought battle over the salary cap. Edmonton quickly took advantage and made the Stanley Cup final, losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in a thrilling series.
In 2015, the Oilers drafted Connor McDavid, a transformational player, first overall in the NHL Draft. McDavid was the spark that the franchise needed. However, with his arrival came expectations that were overly high and perhaps unrealistic. McDavid’s arrival was the asset that sparked the creation of the Oilers' new arena, which rates among the best in the world.
Additionally, the passionate Edmonton fan base has a level of faith that has been lacking since the days of Gretzky and Messier. Since the strong finish to the 2021-22 season, the Oilers are finally reaching their full potential.
