Connor McDavid not playing tonight vs the Golden Knights
Edmonton Oilers fans must brace themselves as Connor McDavid will miss tonight's game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Edmonton has just six games left in the regular season, and they're missing their star player. Now, it's likely that if this were a playoff game, #97 would be in, so it sounds like this is just a precautionary action.
However, McDavid is just one assist away from joining the elite club of players who've notched 100 assists in a single season. We're talking Wayne Gretzky (11X), Mario Lemieux, Bobby Orr � that legendary status. And now, with him out of the lineup, it's not just the game we're missing out on but potentially witnessing history being made at Rogers Place.
It's also likely affected ticket prices, which have probably plummeted. Yet McDavid's absence tonight appears to be just a blip on the radar, and we'll see him back in action soon, ready to make history.
