EDMONTON, AB - Connor McDavid will join his Oilers teammates on their upcoming three-game Pacific Division jaunt but there's still no fixed date for his return.
McDavid responded to reporters following Saturday's Oilers practice at Downtown Community Arena, providing an update on his status as he eyes his lineup re-entry.
The Oilers Captain is remaining cautious with the quad injury he sustained against the Nashville Predators on Feb. 8, admitting he doesn't know when he will be back up to 100 percent form.
"You just want to be pain-free and feeling 100 percent, or as close to it as possible," McDavid, who sits in a tie for fourth in League scoring with 81 points despite missing the past six games, started.
