Locked On Oilers - Daily Podcast On The Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton Oilers face mounting pressure as goaltending woes threaten their playoff hopes. With a team save percentage of .869, fans are left wondering if a bold move for a new goalie—names like Tristan Jarry, Jordan Binnington, and Marc Andre Fleury circulate—can save the season or if Connor Ingram’s recovery will change the equation.

 Nick Zararis evaluates the Oilers’ trade deadline shopping list, spotlighting options for a top-six winger and right-handed defenseman. Alex Tuch and Anthony Mantha emerge as intriguing forward candidates, while the return of Jake Walman and depth concerns drive the push for another defenseman. Salary cap challenges, especially Darnell Nurse’s contract, loom large as the Oilers strategize for a sprint to the deadline. Will management make the right moves to solidify Edmonton’s lineup and reignite their Stanley Cup ambitions?
