It’s not the news either of these teams need right now, and for the struggling Edmonton Oilers, it’s absolutely dire as both Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews have tested positive for COVID. Matthews tested positive on Monday, but a PCR test Tuesday came back negative. He’ll be retested today and if it’s negative he should be cleared to play. McDavid and Oilers C Derek Ryan both tested positive and are being re-tested this morning. The Oilers, who have won just two of their last twelve games, can hardly afford to have the best player in the game out of their lineup, let alone another one at the same position.
