Three new Oilers to debut vs. Hurricanes

March 06, 2026 - 1:43pm

Jason Dickinson joins Gene Principe to share his reaction to finding out he was traded to Edmonton, getting a shot at competing for a Stanley Cup, and what it's like going from playing against to playing with Connor McDavid.

The Edmonton Oilers will have some new faces in the lineup Friday night.

Connor Murphy, Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach will all play as the Oilers host the Carolina Hurricanes (9 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+).

All three players were acquired in two trades with the Chicago Blackhawks earlier this week.

Murphy, a right-shot defenceman, is a 13-year veteran known more for his play in his own end than his offence. Dickinson and Dach are both forwards who will add some depth on the bottom two lines.
