EDMONTON, AB - On Monday, Connor McDavid was one of the first skaters on the ice at Oilers practice but also one of the first players to get off.
The Oilers Captain tumbled into the end boards against the Nashville Predators on Saturday, suffering a bruised left knee on the play - the same knee that required extensive rehabbing for his torn Posterior Cruciate Ligament all summer.
Both McDavid and Oilers Head Coach Dave Tippett commented on the status of No. 97's knee following practice.
"He's got a bruise on his knee or above his knee," Tippett began. "We'll see where he is in the morning. I wouldn't rule him out (against the Chicago Blackhawks) but I'm not saying he's in, either."
