McDavid Listed Day-to-Day With Lower-Body Injury

Any time Connor McDavid shows up on an injury report, the entire hockey ecosystem stops pretending it is calm. Sportsnet says he is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which is the sort of update that sounds reassuring until you remember how thin the margin gets in the playoffs. Edmonton can talk depth all it wants, but every shift without McDavid changes the way opponents attack and the way the Oilers have to survive.
