NHL Career
On July 30, 2005, Cogliano was selected 25th overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Edmonton Oilers.
On May 3, 2007, Cogliano signed his first professional contract with the Oilers. He played his first NHL game on October 4, 2007 against the San Jose Sharks and recorded an assist. He scored his first NHL goal on October 8, 2007 against the Detroit Red Wings, on goaltender Dominik Hašek.
On March 7, March 9, and March 11, 2008, Cogliano set an NHL record by scoring overtime goals in three consecutive games against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues, respectively. His stick and gloves were subsequently sent to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

In his second NHL season, his play dropped off a bit, being hit by the sophomore jinx with fellow teammate Sam Gagner. Cogliano posted 38 points (18 goals, 20 assists). That very season, Cogliano was invited to the NHL YoungStars Game during the All-Star weekend in Montreal, playing for the Sophomores team.
