McDavid Injury Watch Has Oilers Holding Their Breath

Connor McDavid is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which is the kind of sentence that sends a whole market into a panic. The Oilers can survive a lot of things, but every game without their engine changes the math fast. Around this league, teams know there is a difference between "day-to-day" on paper and day-to-day when it involves a player who bends entire game plans. Edmonton is left waiting for the kind of update nobody in the room ever really wants.
