McDavid suffered an upper-body injury Saturday versus the Jets and is expected to miss 1-2 weeks.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid's injury currently doesn't sound too severe, but he will miss some time. Fantasy managers should reasonably expect him to be out for the next three games versus the Wild, Rangers and Flames at a minimum. The Oilers will likely bring Adam Erne back into the lineup, while Warren Foegele and Mattias Janmark could see extra minutes in the middle six.

McDavid was unavailable to the media after Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets, as he was receiving attention from the training staff, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports McDavid was clutching his back or hip during the latter half of the third period. He didn't see the ice late in the third or in overtime. Early in the game, McDavid had a pair of assists, giving him two goals and eight points through five outings this season. More information on his status should surface before Tuesday's road game in Minnesota.

McDavid recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid has gotten on the scoresheet in all four games this season, though he's yet to have a truly explosive performance. He has two goals, four helpers, 12 shots on net and eight hits. Thursday's outing was the first time he's gone without a shot this season, something that only happened once in 2022-23.

McDavid scored a goal and an assist on two shots in the Oilers' 6-1 win over the Predators on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid scored yet another highlight reel goal, where he fell to the ice and spun around before retrieving the puck and beating Juuse Saros to give the Oilers a 4-0 lead. He would also add an assist on Leon Draisaitl's second power-play goal. Coming off a monster 153-point season, McDavid is off to yet another hot start with five points in three games.

McDavid scored a goal on eight shots, dished an assist, logged four hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Both of McDavid's points came on power plays in the second period. He tied the game at 2-2 with his goal and also helped out on a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tally midway through the frame. McDavid has been solid with three points, 10 shots and six hits through two games, but he also has four PIM and a minus-4 rating. It's still early, and the fact that the offense is mostly there gives fantasy managers plenty of hope that the rest of his game will come around soon.

McDavid notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a minus-3 rating in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Between the regular season and playoffs in 2022-23, McDavid had multiple points in 53 of 94 games and a single point in another 32 contests while coming up empty just nine times. Wednesday's season opener was a quiet start to the year for the Oilers, but it's far too soon to fret about the consensus No. 1 player in fantasy. McDavid had a career year last season with 64 goals and 153 points in 82 contests, numbers unheard of in decades. Keep him locked in your fantasy lineup.

McDavid tried to will the Oilers to a win Sunday, but his goal and four shots weren't enough. Vegas won 5-2, advancing to the Western Conference Final.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid has been one of the biggest stars of the postseason. He was held without a point in just two games. In the other 10 games, he was electric, posting eight goals and 20 points. He has been as good as advertised, but the potential MVP will have to try again next year.

McDavid provided two goals in Edmonton's 4-3 loss to Vegas in Game 5 on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
This was the latest in a long line of elite performances from McDavid, who has seven goals and 19 points in 11 playoff outings this year. The power play has been instrumental in McDavid's offensive success during the postseason, and that trend continued Friday with both of his markers coming with the man advantage, bringing his total power-play points in the playoffs to 12. Edmonton is down 3-2 in the series, but McDavid has done his best to push Edmonton forward, supplying four goals and nine points through five second-round outings.

McDavid recorded two assists and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid set up Evan Bouchard for a power-play goal in the first period and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for an even-strength tally in the second. This was a good bounce-back for McDavid after he was held off the scoresheet in Game 3 on Monday. The center is up to five tallies, 12 helpers, 10 power-play points, 41 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-1 rating through 10 playoff contests.
