McDavid Day-To-Day As Lower-Body Worry Hovers

Edmonton is holding its breath again, and that is never a fun place to be when McDavid is involved. Sportsnet reports he is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which in this league is usually code for a lot of nervous meetings and very careful wording. The Oilers know how much their entire operation tilts when their captain is even slightly compromised, and opponents are already circling that possibility. If this lingers, it changes everything from line combinations to playoff math.
