Holloway Recalled, McDavid Day-To-Day

Connor McDavid was not on the ice during Tuesday’s practice and is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, considered maintenance-related. It’s believed he felt off after a scoring chance in Calgary on Saturday night, where he slid and collided with defenseman Rasmus Andersson. He could miss Wednesday night’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights. McDavid needs one more assist to be the 4th 100 assist player in NHL history. Being listed as just day-to-day shouldn’t put too much of a damper on his chances to achieve that milestone, and every Oilers fan wants him to. But you also want him to be fully healthy for the Playoffs. He tried playing through an injury between October and November when his team was one of the very worst in the league. Needless to say, that completely staggered his performance. Two of Edmonton’s six remaining games are against Arizona(twice) and San Jose. Perhaps he’d be more comfortable with his body playing against those teams, but unless he truly does feel like he can still attempt getting the 100th apple unscratched before Game 1, I’d rather not see him make the same mistake again, and I’m sure with a bigger prize in his sights, he may feel the same way. We’ll see where this news takes us after this week is over.
