The confirmation came after both TSN and 630 CHED sent out several tweets, citing unnamed sources.
Dallas Eakins is the second NHL head coach to be fired this season after the Ottawa Senators dismissed Paul MacLean last week.
The Oilers have lost four in a row and 15 of their past 16 games overall. The team, with a 7-19-5 record, sits last place in the NHL.
