In breaking news, this NHL insider has just revealed McDavid's status for tonight's Heritage Classic game, and signs are looking positive for the Oilers
McDavid Set To Return Tonight Against Flames
Connor McDavid took a full practice yesterday ahead of the Oilers Heritage Classic matchup against the Calgary Flames. This was his first full practice since going out with an upper-body injury that was expected to sideline him for several weeks.
Oilers, including McDavid, hit the ice for practice at Commonwealth.
Now, NHL insider Ryan Rishaug has revealed that the plan for McDavid is to play tonight, barring any setbacks experienced today.
As of last night after practice the plan was for McDavid to be in the lineup so barring a setback this morning, 97 will make his return against the Flames.
This is huge news for the Oilers, who have started the year off slow and look to turn things around with their captain in the lineup in the special outdoor game tonight.
