Episode six of Oil Change closes season four of Aquila Production’s award-winning documentary series about the Edmonton Oilers.



The final episode begins in the aftermath of the NHL tradeline on March 5th and follows the Oilers through the final five weeks of the 2013-14 season.



With the schedule winding down and the Oilers doing their best to play a spoiler’s role, the team find themselves challenged by a sudden rash of injuries. Ryan Jones, Jesse Joensuu, Anton Belov, Andrew Ference and Nail Yakupov are all knocked out of the line-up. That means calling up reinforcements from Oklahoma City. Anton Lander, Tyler Pitlick and Will Acton get return trips to Edmonton, while rookie defenceman Oscar Klefbom makes his long-awaited NHL debut. But this kind of help for the Oilers comes at the expense of the OKC Barons, currently locked in a tough battle to secure one of the final AHL playoff spots.



Other highlights of the episode include a behind-the-scenes tour of the memory-filled trophy room in Ryan Smyth’s home. There are some candid and insightful final reflections on this season and next from team star and scoring leader Taylor Hall, captain Andrew Ference, several other key players and G.M. MacTavish, and there is a retrospective look back at all those who’ve donned an Oilers jersey in the past four seasons of Oil Change.



Episode six of Oil Change premieres on Sportsnet’s national and regional stations beginning April 20, 2014. Stay tuned for exact broadcast dates and times in your area.
