Kaapo Kakko, who the Blueshirts selected with the No. 2 overall selection in 2019, […]

Winners of 16 straight games and on the verge of making unbelievable NHL history, it’s hard to believe the Edmonton Oilers were once 5-12-1 in 2023-24.

The National Hockey League’s 2024 iteration of All-Star Weekend was, actually, a lot of fun.

The Edmonton Oilers are on the cusp of NHL history. They put their 16-game winning streak on the line on Tuesday when they return to action against the Vegas Golden Knights.
