Edmonton Oilers Issue Shocking Update on Connor McDavid's Injury
The Edmonton Oilers recently revealed the shocking news that Connor McDavid will be playing against Vegas tonight after rejoining the team.
Ryan Rishaug and Bob Stauffer tweeted that Connor McDavid was taking rushes with the starting line during practice before Wednesday's game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights. McDavid will be in the starting lineup, suggesting a much earlier return to the Oilers, according to recent tweets from the team and Elliotte Friedman.
The Oilers initially estimated that McDavid's injury would keep him out of action for two to three weeks. The earliest that timeline would have allowed him to return would have been next Tuesday's game against the Islanders. Instead, he makes his comeback to the starting lineup five days and two games ahead of schedule.
McDavid only missed three games, and Leon Draisaitl's two consecutive three-point performances helped his team defeat the Nashville Predators and Calgary Flames. Regretfully, they were defeated by the New Jersey Devils 3-0 on Monday.
The Oilers are in a strong position to recover from that difficult loss now that McDavid is back in the lineup. Their attempt to move up the rankings will be greatly aided by tonight's matchup with their division rivals.
The captain scored 10 points, including three goals, in ten games this season. Despite the injury setback, Oilers fans undoubtedly want to see him return to his typical rhythm in order to guide the team to victory.
