Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid remains a game-time decision for Game 5 against the Anaheim Ducks due to a foot injury. The Oilers trail 3-1 in the series and face elimination with a loss. Center Jason Dickinson is also uncertain with a lower-body injury.
Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid sustained a foot injury in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks. The injury has limited his performance, though he has still recorded one goal and three assists across the four games. As the NHL's leading points scorer from the regular season, McDavid's availability is critical for the Oilers, who are down 3-1 and must win Game 5 to extend their season. The game, set for tonight, carries immense pressure on Edmonton, with a defeat meaning an early exit for one of the Stanley Cup favorites. Center Jason Dickinson, dealing with a lower-body injury, missed Games 2 and 3 but returned for Game 4. His status, like McDavid's, awaits a late decision. Oilers officials are monitoring both players closely ahead of the must-win matchup.
