McDavid Day-To-Day After Lower-Body Injury

The Oilers are waiting on the latest read on McDavid, and that alone changes the temperature around the room. Sportsnet is calling him day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which is the kind of update that keeps coaches vague and opponents hopeful. When a player of his caliber is on the shelf, every practice rep and every shift deployment starts to matter a little more. The real question now is how long Edmonton can manage the load before this becomes more than a short-term hiccup.
