McDavid Lower-Body Injury Puts Edmonton On Edge

Connor McDavid is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, and that alone is enough to make every Oilers fan reach for the stress ball. In this league, “day-to-day” can mean anything from a minor nuisance to the kind of situation that quietly changes a series or a season. Edmonton never gets to breathe easy when its best player is even a little banged up, because the whole operation tilts when No. 97 is not at full throttle. The next update will matter a lot more than the label attached to it.
