Jarry starts vs the Leafs, Levi won’t be available to back up, per head coach Mike Babcock.

Should be electric tomorrow at Rogers Place, where both teams come off spectacular wins and where no team has a better record than Toronto’s 11-2-1. I’ll be on @CHED880 with @Bob_Stauffer for a 5:15 MT puck drop.

This is a terrific hockey game. @Sportsnet

Eight points behind Connor McDavid’s 26 in nine games.

Levi starts in net vs Carolina, RNH centres 2nd line, will play PP not PK. Dach centres 4th line w/Howard & Frederic. After giving up 13 goals in the first two games, the Oilers have surrendered just 14 in the last 7. @GenePrincipe & @LouDeBrusk with me on @Sportsnet at 7 MT.

I don’t remember what I did on my 27th birthday. He will.

I’m guessing @TomGazzola already had this but here’s a look at Levi’s new pads, making their debut tonight against Minnesota, a team who has the best record vs EDM over the last 18 games (14-4).

The Cleveland baseball and football teams have made me sad since 1980. 🥺

McDavid has become the first player in 31 years (Mario) to notch 20 points in the first eight games of the season.

This is an NHL tilt.

Strange but true— The Oilers enter tonight having gotten off to their first 4-0 start on the road in franchise history.

In a league all his own…

Connor McDavid plays his 800th game tonight on @Sportsnet at 8:30 MT. Only Gretzky & Lemieux had more points at this stage of their career than McDavid, who leads the NHL in points, assists, and game-winning goals since 2015 while ranking T-4th in goals and 5th in plus/minus.

There’s clutch. And there’s Jose Ramirez.

The Oilers have won four in a row in regulation for the first time since Jan. 11-16, 2025. They’re the last team without a loss in regulation this year.

Podkolzin quietly has opened the season on a five-game point streak, punctuated by today’s game-winner, courtesy of @taschnei …

Tristan Jarry improves to 4-1-1 lifetime against San Jose and has given up just one goal in his last 150 minutes played at the Shark Tank.

Edmonton now has beaten San Jose in 18 of its last 20 meetings.

Celebrini will play. No Walman (blocked a shot Wed) for Oil. Podkolzin-McDavid-Draisaitl Hallander-Dickinson-Kapanen Formenton-Michaels-Joseph Frederic-Samanski-Howard Ekholm-Bouchard Shea-Murphy Mukhamadullin-Emberson Jarry
