Edmonton is off to a dreadful start, winning just one of their first seven games. Connor McDavid, the reigning Hart Trophy winner, has missed the team’s last two games with an upper-body ailment
No matter if Connor McDavid is on the ice or sitting in a warm suite, the Edmonton Oilers are viewing the Heritage Classic like a chance to hit the reset button on their season.
Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said that McDavid skated Thursday, but was noncommittal if the superstar would be available for Sunday’s tilt at Commonwealth Stadium against the Calgary Flames. Woodcroft said that McDavid knows his body than anyone else, and that the centre will be the one to best determine if he can function well enough in below-zero temperatures and the chippy ice that’s so common in outdoor games.
Over and over, the Oilers repeated that the spectacle of Sunday’s game gives the team a chance to refocus – and begin the season anew. Throw out the first seven games, and start from scratch.
