ELMONT, NY – Forward Bo Horvat registered a hat-trick, including the game-winning goal on the power play with 4:46 left in the third period, to sink the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the New York Islanders on Long Island at UBS Arena on Thursday night.

Some Oilers fans wonder if their club might poach a star from a struggling team. Meanwhile, some Canadiens fans ponder the futures of Brendan Gallagher and Jayden Struble.

Evan Bouchard had arguably one of the worst games of his NHL career in the Edmonton Oilers’ loss at the New York Islanders on Thursday night. “I'm going to have to improve on that," Bouchard said. Bouchard is the fourth-highest paid defenseman in the NHL and tied for 14th among all players at a salary cap hit of $10.

The Edmonton Oilers began the 2025-26 season with a long list of injured players. From No. 1 line right winger Zach Hyman, through top-four defenceman Jake Walman, checking winger Mattias Janmark and most recently depth defenceman Alec Regula, the overall thrust of the lineup was altered greatly due to injury.

The Edmonton Oilers may be preparing to make a trade in the very near future, if a recent report is to be believed.
