McDavid Nursing Lower-Body Injury, And The Oilers Hold Their Breath

Edmonton is in the kind of spot nobody around the rink enjoys - waiting on a superstar and parsing every word like it is a Game 7 intermission report. Sportsnet says McDavid is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which is enough to make every coach, trainer, and fan in Alberta do the math a dozen different ways. The Oilers know this league changes fast when No. 97 is even slightly limited, and that uncertainty always travels farther than the injury itself.
