The Edmonton Oilers turned their road trip around in a huge way, picking up a massive four points over the weekend with back-to-back wins against the New York Islanders and New York Rangers.

It all started Friday night with a thrilling 2-1 OT victory over the Islanders, powered by Leon Draisaitl's late-game heroics. He scored both goals, including the overtime winner, bringing him to 49 goals on the season. Calvin Pickard was rock solid between the pipes, standing tall in a game where the Oilers struggled to generate consistent offense but got the job done when it mattered most.

The road trip finale came Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, where the Oilers delivered a statement 3-1 win over the Rangers. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins silenced his critics with a three-point night, while Viktor Arvidsson and Connor McDavid sealed the game with clutch third-period goals. Stuart Skinner was dialed in, stopping 21 of 22 shots for a .955 save percentage, giving the Oilers their second straight win and closing out the trip on a high note.

We’ll break down all the key moments from both wins, deliver our One Big Take, and ask today’s Sherwood Ford Giant Question—is this the momentum shift the Oilers needed down the stretch?

Then, we’ll be joined by former Oiler and Sportsnet color commentator Louie DeBrusk to analyze what these wins mean for the team moving forward, and whether Edmonton has truly found its game again. Tune in for all that and more on Oilersnation Everyday!
