Oilers superstar Connor McDavid out against visiting Golden Knights

Apr 10, 2024 | 6:49 PM

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid is out for Wednesday’s game against the visiting Vegas Golden Knights.

McDavid did not take warm-up before the game after missing the team’s morning skate and practice on Tuesday.

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Tuesday that McDavid was day-to-day and absent from practice due to a combination of “lower body” and “maintenance” issues.

McDavid entered Wednesday’s NHL action third in scoring with 130 points, including a league-high 99 assists.

The Oilers are 19-24-9 without McDavid since he entered the NHL in 2015.
