Oilers superstar Connor McDavid out against visiting Golden Knights
Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid is out for Wednesday’s game against the visiting Vegas Golden Knights.
McDavid did not take warm-up before the game after missing the team’s morning skate and practice on Tuesday.
Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Tuesday that McDavid was day-to-day and absent from practice due to a combination of “lower body” and “maintenance” issues.
McDavid entered Wednesday’s NHL action third in scoring with 130 points, including a league-high 99 assists.
The Oilers are 19-24-9 without McDavid since he entered the NHL in 2015.
Edmonton entered Wednesday’s game sitting second in the Pacific Division with 99 points, five back of first place Vancouver with two fewer games played. The Oilers host the Canucks on Saturday.
