Connor Brown signs bonus-laden contract with Edmonton Oilers

Connor Brown, a Washington Capitals player for all of four games, is moving onto the Edmonton Oilers in free agency.

Brown signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Oilers. His new contract is uniquely structured so that his cap hit will be just $775,000 and the remaining $3.25 million will come via performance bonuses. Brown is betting on himself post-ACL surgery.

The Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli was first to report the news.

The handshake line after a playoff series has long been used in hockey as a sign of respect between two teams.

However, Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisatl appeared to use the post-series handshake line to express his feelings towards Vegas Golden Knights star defenseman, Alex Pietrangelo.

Alex Pietrangelo ejected for two-handed slash to Leon Draisaitl’s arm: ‘That’s not a hockey play’

The Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers have been trading blowouts in their second-round playoff series and on Wednesday night it was the Oilers that took it to the Golden Knights. Edmonton put four unanswered goals past Vegas and held on for an eventual 4-1 win to even up the series at two wins apiece.

Late in the game, it was clear Vegas was becoming more and more frustrated with their lack of offensive success and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo decided to take out some of that frustration on star Oilers center Leon Draisaitl.

Pietrangelo reared back and viciously two-hand chopped Draisaitl’s arm.

Evander Kane lands several body blows to defenseless Keegan Kolesar: ‘When you wanna f*** around, sometimes you have to find out’

The Edmonton Oilers made a statement in a few ways on Saturday night as they evened up their second-round matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights. Edmonton put four goals past Vegas goaltender Laurent Brossoit before there were three minutes left in the first period.

Later on in the game, several fights broke out and the rough stuff only subsided when the final horn sounded. The two teams ended the night with a total of 124 penalty minutes. One moment in particular amongst all the chaos raised eyes on social media and that involved the Oilers’ Evander Kane.

Kane pinned Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar to the ice and landed several hard body shots on his seemingly defenseless opponent.

Zach Hyman scores playoff goal with his face: I’ll ‘take that trade-off any day’

To get a goal in the Stanley Cup playoffs, sometimes you have to use your head.

The Edmonton Oilers’ Zach Hyman took that adage literally during Game Five against the LA Kings Tuesday night when he scored a goal with his face.

The marker came during the power play when Hyman deflected an Evan Bouchard slap shot off of his chin and into the back of the net. It was far from the prettiest goal of his career, but it counted all the same.

A tremendous road performance from a hobbled Caps team: numbers for the morning after

Every game that the Washington Capitals get someone back from their lengthy injury list it seems like they add two more players back onto it soon after. That common annoyance didn’t hamper the Caps’ performance in Edmonton on Monday as they stymied Connor McDavid and the Oilers in a very nice 3-2 victory.

No new injuries? Everyone cross all of your fingers and toes.

A good game and no one got hurt: Caps beat Oilers 3-2

The Washington Capitals played a damn good road game against Connor McDavid’s Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. Frankly, I had a really good time watching this game.

Unrewarded for a strong first period, the Capitals ceded the first goal to Brett Kulak, screened thricewise. Lars Eller caught a turnover and tied it up. John Carlson handed Connor McDavid a shorthanded breakaway to blow that lead. TJ Oshie tied it up from the slot on that same power play. Aliaksei Protas was a monster in the third period, setting up late man Nic Dowd for the go-ahead goal.

Caps win!

Capitals vs Oilers live analysis and updates (Dec. 5, 2022)

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Edmonton Oilers game on December 5, 2022.

Welcome to Game 5 of the Capitals’ season-long six-game road trip. Tonight our dear Capitals will take on the Edmonton Oilers where they will now be without Martin Fehervary and Darcy Kuemper who got injured against the Calgary Flames.

The Capitals, who remain under .500 and out of a possible playoff spot, are 1-2-1 on this road trip so far. They’ve given up five goals twice and scored two or fewer goals three times.

It’s unclear if the Capitals are going to be able to turn it around against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisailt. But they need to turn things around soon or they made have dug a hole too deep to get out of.

The Capitals previously played the Oilers at home in early November. They beat Edmonton 5-4, and went four-for-five on the power play.

Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington and puck drop is a little after 8:30.

Milestone alert! Garnet Hathaway is playing in his 400th career game while Dylan Strome is playing in his 300th.

An absolute showcase of superstar talent: Capitals beat Oilers 5-4

The Edmonton Oilers were in town and that’s always special because it means Connor McDavid and Alex Ovechkin share the same ice. The two generational talents doing battle won’t be something we get to see much more of, so enjoy it.

It wasn’t either superstar that started the scoring Monday night as Dylan Strome ripped off Warren Foegele and sniped home the opening marker late in the first. The second featured five total goals from both teams and they came from Strome, McDavid, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Ovechkin.

Leon Draisaitl cut the Caps’ lead to one again early in the third. Evgeny Kuznetsov and Nugent-Hopkins struck in quick succession very late.

Capitals beat Oilers 5-4!
