The Edmonton Oilers were dealt a blow on Saturday night when Connor McDavid sat out the last five minutes of the game against the Calgary Flames. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch described it as a lower-body injury that was just day-to-day. McDavid took part in the morning skate before the matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights, and the team is leaving it up to him to determine if he is ready for the game.
Connor McDavid skated this morning, according to Kris Knoblauch.
Says he doesn’t want McDavid to rush things but will leave it up to his player to decide if his body is good to go for tonight.
