The 2020β21 Edmonton Oilers season was the 42nd season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, and 49th season overall, including their play in the World Hockey Association (WHA). The Oilers made the playoffs for the second straight year after being eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks in the qualifying round of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Due to the CanadaβU.S. border restrictions brought in as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oilers were re-aligned with the other six Canadian franchises into the newly-formed North Division. The league's 56 game season was played entirely within the new divisions, meaning that Edmonton and the other Canadian teams played an all-Canadian schedule for the 2020β21 regular season as well as the first two rounds of the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs.
On May 3, 2021, the Oilers clinched a playoff berth after they defeated the Vancouver Canucks 5β3. [1] They were swept in the first round by the Winnipeg Jets, with a 4-3 triple overtime loss in game four on May 24.
