## Resource

Edmonton Oilers part ways with head coach Kris Knoblauch, just months after a Stanley Cup Final appearance and a three-year extension. Knoblauch, hired mid-season in 2024, transformed the teams performance, securing a playoff spot and reaching the Final. However, this season, the Oilers struggled with a younger lineup, finishing with their worst points percentage since 2018-19 and an early playoff exit. Knoblauch acknowledged the teams focus on playoffs too soon and injury issues. The Oilers are now searching for a new coach to lead the team in the upcoming season.
