Connor McDavid suffers injury moments before playoffs
During Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid sustained a lower body injury, as reported by insiders Ryan Rishaug and Mark Spector.
This news has just surfaced, indicating that McDavid will be absent from the team's lineup, labeled as day-to-day.
Officially, McDavid has a lower body injury and is day to day. Questionable for tmw v. VGK.
Injury happened with roughly 5:00 to play in Calgary Saturday.
Sounds like an injury, but not a major one. With playoffs around the corner, they'll be careful.
His availability for the upcoming matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights remains uncertain.
McDavid day to day with a lower body injury. Knoblauch says McDavid will make the call on whether or not he plays tomorrow night. It's not the same issue he missed 2 games with earlier in year. Priority will be making sure he's healthy for playoffs vs playoff chases.
With McDavid's injury casting a shadow over the Oilers' lineup, his absence could potentially impact their performance in the next game.
