Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid could miss game against Vegas Golden Knights with lower body, maintenance issues
The race for top spot in the Pacific Division could come down to the final day of the NHL season. But it could be impacted by an injury to the league’s reigning most valuable player.
McDavid entered Tuesday’s NHL action third in scoring with 130 points, including a league-high 99 assists. “The most important thing is playoffs, that we are ready,” Knoblauch said. “I think we’ve got depth. You’re never going to replace Connor, but we’ve got healthy bodies.The Oilers have had multiple games in hand on most of their close rivals for the majority of the season and will finally make it up down the stretch. The team finishes with six games in nine days.
“I think they’ll go hand-in-hand,” Hyman said. “Obviously, there’s things we’ll change depending on the standings and whatnot. But we want to win the division if we can. I think it’s pretty attainable right now.
