Over the last few years, it’s been a running joke for Edmonton Oilers fans that an afternoon game is always a guaranteed loss for the team. A 6-1 victory is certainly no joke, however.

Edmonton Oilers executive Stan Bowman is recalling the moment in this Stanley Cup Playoffs where his team came alive.

Zach Hyman has had another great postseason with the Oilers, but it's not the goals or points that are creating a buzz around the player.

Calvin Pickard, a career backup (when not playing in the minors) has more minutes in net than Edmonton’s No. 1 goaltender (Stuart Skinner). The gap could’ve been larger, but Pickard’s injury guaranteed recent starts for Skinner.

Admittedly, Hyman is sheepish when asked what it mean to be known as the hits record holder for one playoff season, especially when thinking of power forwards past and present like Bennett, Matthew Tkachuk, Milan Lucic and Tom Wilson. The NHL, for the record, has been tracking hits since the 2005-06 season.

The roller coaster of the Edmonton Oilers' goaltending situation is climbing at the moment, and Stuart Skinner is on fire.

It’s hard to believe a player who couldn’t put any weight on his left leg in the third period of a game would be ready for playoff hockey 2,000 miles away just over 36 hours later. Crazier things have happened,

Stuart Skinner had three shutouts in 51 regular season starts. Now he has three in seven playoff games. And it’s not because he turns into Martin Brodeur. When the Oilers tighten up and lock it down, they’re as tough to penetrate as any team in hockey.
