BOTTOM LINE: The Edmonton Oilers will attempt to continue a four-game win streak with a victory against the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver is 19-15-10 overall with a 6-4-2 record in Pacific Division play. The Canucks have a -15 scoring differential, with 125 total goals scored and 140 conceded.

If the Canucks really felt they had to do something about their logjam at winger — a premise that doesn’t hold much weight today considering Phil Di Giuseppe is back in the top six — they should’ve picked another one of their promising young wingers: Nils Höglander.

Here is what head coach Rick Tocchet had to say about J.T. Miller after another brutal Vancouver Canucks loss on home ice.

Following Vancouver's decisive 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, head coach Rick Tocchet voiced some frustration with star forward J.T. Miller's game. "He's struggling. He's caught in between. Seems like every time he's on the ice, something bad happens," Tocchet told reporters in the post-game press conference.

The Vancouver Canucks need more from J.T. Miller. In the midst of the Western Conference’s playoff race, and one season removed from pacing the squad and finishing ninth league-wide with 103 points, Miller’s game has taken a dip in 2024-25.

The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 in an NHL Western Conference clash at Ball Arena in Denver on Thursday (Jan. 16) night. Viktor Arvidsson, Evan Bouchard, Brett Kulak and Connor McDavid scored for the Oilers.

As per TSN insider Darren Dreger, the Edmonton Oilers are singing defenseman John Klingberg. Details of the contract have not yet been released. Klingberg had recently expressed interest in returning to the National Hockey League with teams like Edmonton,

Alex Turcotte finishes with two goals and an assist, and goalie Darcy Kuemper makes 20 saves in the Kings' 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

John Klingberg signed a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. Financial terms were not disclosed. The 32-year-old defenseman had five assists in 14 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season before having season-ending hip surgery in December 2023.

There have been a lot of Edmonton Oilers games over the years in which they’ve trailed 3-0 in the first period — 102, to be exact. Those games have rarely gone well for the team in the past, and understandably so.
