McDavid Sidelined with Lower Body Injury - Day-to-Day Status

McDavid missing time is never ideal, but the day-to-day designation suggests the Oilers are being cautious rather than facing a long-term absence. How quickly he returns could have serious implications for Edmonton's early season momentum and their ability to stay healthy through the stretch.
