Oilers' Under-the-Radar Fights | Edmonton Oilers News

The Edmonton Oilers turned up the heat last season with 22 fights—tying them for league-leading physicality—and were the last team to throw down. Vasily Podkolzin led the charge with five fights, stepping in for teammates after hits on McDavid and Ekholm, even splitting his bout evenly against Hague after a Wiesblatt hit on Draisaitl. His postseason scrap with Viel showed frustration, capped by a decisive win over Cirelli. Connor Murphy added fuel with two multi-fight games, taking on Holmberg and O’Connor. Other standout scraps included Colton Dach’s clash with Pettersson after an extra shot. While the brawls defined their gritty identity, the real test remains whether players like Clattenburg can score enough to stay relevant long-term.
