Locked On Oilers - Daily Podcast On The Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers take a 1-0 series lead over the Anaheim Ducks, but they did it in the most unexpected way possible.

In today's episode, Nick Zararis breaks down a wild 4-3 Victory Tuesday. For the first time all year, the Oilers won a game without a point from Connor McDavid. While the stars were quiet on the scoresheet, the depth arrived in a big way: Jason Dickinson and Kasperi Kapanen both potted a pair, with Kapanen netting the dramatic game-winner.

Nick also "picks some nits" regarding the defensive lapses in the second period, Darnell Nurse’s "egregious" penalty, and why Kris Knoblauch needs to stop leaning on his "emotional support" lines when the chips are down. Plus, a look ahead to Game 2: Why targeting Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas is the key to a 2-0 lead

The Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks meet in the playoffs for the first time since 2017! Is Edmonton ready for the youth movement in SoCal, or will the Power Play carry them through?

On today's special crossover edition of Locked On Oilers, Nick Sarras is joined by Kyle Kjer of Locked On Ducks to break down every angle of this Round 1 matchup. The biggest question mark heading into Game 1: Leon Draisaitl’s health. Nick and Kyle discuss the gamesmanship at play and whether the Oilers can survive without #29 down the middle.

We also dive deep into the "X-Factors" for both sides. For Edmonton, all eyes are on Matt Savoie and his incredible late-season surge. Can he provide the secondary scoring needed to support Connor McDavid? On the Ducks' side, we look at the arrival of Cutter Gauthier and Leo Carlson, and why their "nothing to lose" attitude makes them a threat

The Edmonton Oilers have a projected Game 1 lineup! We break down the forward lines, Leon Draisaitl’s injury status, and why this defensive group is the key to beating the Anaheim Ducks.

On today’s bonus Saturday edition of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis dives into the Friday practice lines that suggest Leon Draisaitl is ready to go for Game 1.

The Edmonton Oilers have officially punched their ticket to a first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks! 

After a dominant 82nd-game victory over the Vancouver Canucks, the Oilers avoided the "catastrophe" of a first-round date with the Colorado Avalanche.On today's episode of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis breaks down why the Oilers are hitting their stride at the perfect time. 

We dive into the incredible performance of Matt Savoie, whose rookie hat trick has silenced doubters and provided a massive boost in the absence of Leon Draisaitl. Finally, we provide our first look at the Oilers vs. Ducks series beginning Monday. Can the Oilers' veteran experience handle a young, volatile Ducks squad led by Leo Carlson and Cutter Gauthier?

The Edmonton Oilers have one game left, but their first-round opponent is still a mystery. On today’s Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis breaks down the four potential paths for Edmonton as they look to secure the Pacific Division and a favorable start to the postseason.

We dive deep into the LA Kings, a defense-first team that seems to be limping across the finish line despite a dangerous top line featuring Artemi Panarin and Anze Kopitar.

Then, we pivot to the Anaheim Ducks—a volatile, young squad that takes a massive amount of penalties, offering a golden opportunity for the Oilers' league-leading power play.

Finally, we discuss the "worst-case scenario"—falling into a wildcard spot and facing the Colorado Avalanche and why the health of Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman remains the biggest X-factor for this roster
