Speaking on Daily Faceoff ( h/t Oilers Nation on X) on Sunday, Yaremchuk argued the Oilers should prioritize acquiring Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic instead of pursuing Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson, who has been frequently linked to Edmonton.

Right-shot defenceman Alec Regula was claimed off waivers six weeks ago from the Boston Bruins, who were trying to send him to their AHL farm team in Providence to continue his rehab from off-season knee surgery, but he’s yet to play a single minute for the Edmonton Oilers.

With just six games remaining before the NHL's two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, every point in the standings feels especially valuable. The Boston

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a pair of goals as the Edmonton Oilers won their second game in a row, knocking off the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Saturday.

Rantanen was acquired in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche on Friday for forwards Jack Drury and Martin Necas, along with a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. Hall was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks for a third-round pick in the 2025 Draft.

Connor McDavid made a fair point when he suggested that he and the Edmonton Oilers aren't getting their fair share of power-play opportunities this season.

Rantanen has been an essential member of the Avalanche's core since arriving in 2015-16, having won the Stanley Cup in 2021-22. Widely regarded as one of the NHL's premier offensive talents, he stands among the league's top five scorers over the last five seasons.

The club is last in the Eastern Conference with an 18-26-5 record and, barring an unprecedented run, the playoff drought that’s chased off season-ticket holders will reach 14 years.
