Connor Mcdavid out with Injury

This just in, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is out of the team's lineup day to day with a lower body injury. He is questionable for tomorrow night's game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

From insiders Ryan Rishaug and Mark Spector:

McDavid did not practice Tuesday, and coach Kris Knoblauch said he would consult with the centre on Wednesday.

The coach said McDavid's absence at practice was due to a combination of “lower body” and “maintenance” issues.

"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. 

Edmonton will enter 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.
