McDavid Injury Clouds Oilers' March Through the Stretch

Connor McDavid is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, and that is never the kind of update anyone around Edmonton wants to hear. The word choice matters here, because day-to-day is front-office language for “we are not panicking yet,” even if everybody in the building is doing the math anyway. The Oilers will be watched closely until McDavid is back to looking like, well, McDavid, because every tweak with a superstar changes the temperature of the room fast.
