Returning against Knights McDavid (ankle) will be in the lineup versus Vegas on Wednesday.
Impact McDavid's return comes well ahead of schedule after he was originally given a 2-3 week recovery timeline. With the world-class center back in action, he will retake his spot on the top line with Jeff Skinner and Zach Hyman while also linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Prior to getting hurt, McDavid had registered a point per game through the opening 10 contests of the year but managed just two power-play points over that stretch. If he can get going with the man advantage, McDavid should cruise to a fifth consecutive 100-plus point campaign.

Labels self day-to-day McDavid (ankle) told reporters he was taking things day by day and didn't rule out playing against Vancouver on Saturday, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports.
Impact Considering Saturday's game would come well ahead of McDavid's original 2-3 week timeline, it would seem the world-class center is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Still, until McDavid takes the ice in a full-contact practice, fantasy players may want to take a cautious approach about inserting him into their lineups. Even if he does play Saturday, McDavid's timeline does effectively rule him out for a least two more games versus New Jersey and Vegas on Monday and Wednesday, respectively.

Will miss next 2-3 weeks McDavid is expected to miss 2-3 weeks due to an ankle injury, the Oilers announced Wednesday.
Impact McDavid was injured Monday with what was initially classified as a lower-body issue. Although his timetable isn't too long in the grand scheme of things, even if he doesn't play again until Nov. 14 -- which would seem to be about a best-case scenario given his timetable -- that would still cost him six games at a time when Edmonton is struggling offensively with just 2.20 goals per game. McDavid's injury will likely result in either Adam Henrique or Jeff Skinner being elevated from the third line into a top-six role. If Skinner is the one to move up, then Ryan Nugent-Hopkins would probably need to shift to center.

Likely out at least two weeks McDavid (lower body) isn't dealing with the worst-case scenario, but he's still expected to miss at least a couple of weeks, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Wednesda...
Impact McDavid logged just 37 seconds of ice time before he exited Monday's game against Columbus due to the injury. He has three goals and 10 points across 10 appearances this season. Missing McDavid is a huge blow for Edmonton, especially when the Oilers are having a difficult time gelling -- they rank last offensively with just 2.20 goals per game in 2024-25. While McDavid is absent, Adam Henrique will likely shift into a top-six role and see usage on the power play.
