McDavid has officially been out for over two months, and this official announcement today confirms that the 18-year-old phenomenon will miss eight more games before returning to the lineup. It is critical for the Oilers to continue to push 9n times like these, as they are merely points out of a playoff spot.
McDavid’s return to the lineup will not be the solution to the Oilers’ woes, but it will surely help.
