The Dallas Stars overwhelmed the Edmonton Oilers with an 8-3 victory on November 25, 2025, at Rogers Place, exposing ongoing defensive and goaltending issues for Edmonton. Jamie Benn scored his 400th NHL goal, while Wyatt Johnston tallied four points in the win. Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl defended their goaltenders post-game, emphasizing team-wide concerns after nearly 30 games into the season.
The Edmonton Oilers traded forward Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 first-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach. This move, part of efforts to adjust the roster before the playoffs, has drawn criticism for including a high draft pick to offload Mangiapane's contract. The 29-year-old signed a two-year, $7.2 million deal with Edmonton in the offseason but recorded only seven goals and 14 points in 52 games.
