McDavid Nursing Lower-Body Injury As Oilers Hold Their Breath

Connor McDavid is listed day-to-day with a lower-body injury, and that is enough to make every Oilers fan reach for the stress ball. In this league, “day-to-day” can mean anything from a minor nuisance to a situation that quietly reshapes a series or a week of planning. Edmonton has to manage the line between caution and urgency, because nobody in the room needs a reminder of what happens when the best player in the sport is even a little compromised.
