Oil Kings Looking for Another Win over Warriors

January 24, 2025 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Edmonton Oil Kings News Release


Edmonton, Alta. - The Edmonton Oil Kings are back at Rogers Place tonight after a three-game road trip in Saskatchewan.

Tonight, the Oil Kings welcome the Moose Jaw Warriors Rogers Place for their second meeting in less than a week after the Oil Kings grabbed a 7-0 win on Saturday to finish the Saskatchewan swing. Edmonton also got a win on Friday in Regina and earned four of a possible six points on the road trip. Saturday's meeting was the first of four this season between the Oil Kings and Warriors. Ultimately, the two clubs will meet three times in a span of 21 days.

Adam Jecho and Miroslav Holinka each had four points in that Saturday Oil Kings victory, while Ethan Simcoe earned his first career WHL Shutout with a 20 save performance.

Now, the Oil Kings return home where they are 14-6-0-1 on the season as they look to keep pace with the rest of the Central Division. Heading into the weekend, the Oil Kings are 24-16-1-2 and sit fifth in the Eastern Conference, and they're seven points back of division leading Medicine Hat, but the Oil Kings also have two games in hand on the Tigers.

The Warriors have had a game since Saturday's loss to Edmonton, as they dropped a 6-4 decision to Calgary on Wednesday in Moose Jaw. The Warriors are 10-28-4-2 on the season now and sit 11th in the Eastern Conference.

Game time from Rogers Place is 7 p.m.
