McDavid Day-To-Day As Lower-Body Worry Looms

Anytime McDavid shows up on an injury report, the whole league pays attention. Sportsnet says he is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which is the kind of update that gives both the Oilers and their fans a knot in the stomach. The details matter here because Edmonton runs on his tempo, his touches, and his ability to bend a game to his will. When the best player in the world is banged up, every shift starts to feel a little heavier.
