But the Avs looked like a completely different club Monday night, completing the first half of the regular season with a statement effort against the defending champion Florida Panthers.

When you think of New York Rangers forwards Sam Carrick, Adam Edstrom and Matt Rempe, goal-scoring probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But the Rangers’ fourth line has scored four goals in the past three games, helping fuel a 2-0-1 stretch.

Despite Blackwood's incredible play, the Avs have been scuffling in the new year. They've gone 4-2-1 in 2025, alternating wins and losses as their offence has started to dry up. Contrast that with the Oilers, who have won seven of their past eight, including two shutouts from Stuart Skinner and five four-goal nights from the offence.

The Edmonton Oilers haven’t enjoyed home cooking for a while, and it will be a few more days before they unpack their bags. In the midst of playing seven of eight games on the road, the sixth is Thursday night when the Oilers visit the Colorado Avalanche in Denver.

After a thrilling come-from-behind victory on Tuesday, the Avalanche host the Edmonton Oilers in the second of a five-game homestand. This is the second of three meetings between the teams this season, as the Oilers won 4-1 in Denver on November 30, and they’ll play again in Edmonton on February 7.

Jared Bednar shook up the line combinations at practice following a disappointing effort vs the New York Rangers. The Avs also placed John Ludvig on waivers. Speaking of which, a high-priced goalie in Pittsburgh was also put on waivers.
