The Edmonton Oilers have now played two games since the Christmas break, and I also have a couple of things I have to say ...

Matt Savoie has been on a tear recently for the Condors in Bakersfield, improving his chances of playing for the Oilers at some point in the 2024-25 season.

Burned by what happened with Philip Boberg and Dylan Holloway, the Oilers are focused on getting Ty Emberson re-signed as soon after Jan. 1 as possible.
