McDavid Day-to-Day with Lower Body Issue

Connor McDavid skates gingerly off the ice, and the Oilers hold their breath as he goes day-to-day with a lower body injury that popped up in practice. Front offices around the league perk up because Edmonton leans so heavily on his magic, and any extended absence flips their whole lineup upside down. Coaches whisper about load management this late in the season, but McDavid hates sitting, which makes every update a nail-biter for playoff positioning.
