McDavid says he will probably miss second straight game as Oilers host Coyotes

Apr 12, 2024 | 2:32 PM

Edmonton superstar Connor McDavid said he “probably won’t go tonight” as the Oilers practiced Friday before a game against the Arizona Coyotes.

McDavid told reporters he doesn’t want to miss games, but player health is a priority heading into the playoffs.

The Oilers captain missed Edmonton’s 5-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday with what coach Kris Knoblauch called a combination of maintenance and a lower-body injury.

McDavid is considered day-to-day and Knoblauch has said he will let McDavid decide when he feels well enough to play.

McDavid has a team-leading 130 points for the Oilers, who enter the game against Arizona four points behind Vancouver for first place in the Pacific Division with two games in hand.
