<2022–23

The 2023–24 Edmonton Oilers season was the 45th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, and 52nd season for the organization overall, including their play in the World Hockey Association (WHA).

During the regular season, the Oilers had an abysmal 2-9-1 record to start the season, and at one point were tied for last place in the league standings with the San Jose Sharks; this lead to the firing of head coach Jay Woodcroft. However, their weak start got overshadowed eventually as the Oilers went on a team and Canadian record 16-game win streak, which started on December 21, 2023, and ended on February 6, 2024.[1]

On April 5, the Oilers clinched their fifth consecutive playoff spot after a 6–2 win over the Colorado Avalanche.[2] In the first round, they eliminated the Los Angeles Kings for the third consecutive season, this time in five games.[3] In the second round, they dispatched the Vancouver Canucks in seven games.[4] In the Western Conference finals, they ousted the Dallas Stars in six games, advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2006, where they faced to the Florida Panthers.[5] In the finals, the Oilers fell behind 3–0 in the series before winning the next three games, but eventually fell short in game seven.[6]
