McDavid Lower-Body Injury Puts Edmonton On Edge

Connor McDavid is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, and that is enough to make every Oilers room go a little quieter. When a player like McDavid is nicked up, even a short-term issue becomes a franchise-level storyline because the margin for error disappears fast. The details remain tight, but the word day-to-day usually tells you the team is hoping this stays in the annoying-not-apocalyptic category.
