McDavid provided two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid has nine helpers over three games since returning from a lower-body injury. He assisted on goals by Connor Brown and Viktor Arvidsson, which opened and closed the scoring in this contest. McDavid's now at 99 points (26 goals, 73 helpers) with 195 shots on net and a plus-19 rating across 66 appearances. The Oilers' injury situation will likely force McDavid to stay in the lineup for the last two regular-season games, but that should give him plenty of time to secure the eighth 100-point campaign of his career.

McDavid recorded four assists, four shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid has seven helpers over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old earned two of his assists Friday on the power play. He's matched his jersey number in the points column with 97 (26 goals, 71 assists) across 65 appearances, and he's added 191 shots on net, 39 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-16 rating. The injury doesn't look to be bothering him, and with the Oilers missing a lot of other players, McDavid may have to suit up for all three remaining regular-season contests.

McDavid notched three assists, four PIM and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid led all Edmonton forwards with 20:35 of ice time in his return from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old picked up right where he left off -- he's amassed four goals and 18 assists over his last 14 outings. The Oilers can't really afford to rest any forwards until some of the injured ones return, so assume McDavid will continue to play as long as he's healthy. He's now at 93 points (26 goals, 67 helpers) 187 shots on net, 35 PIM, 39 hits and a plus-14 rating over 64 appearances. He'll have up to four games to make a push for the 100-point mark, a level he's missed just twice in the first nine years of his career.

McDavid (lower body) is expected to play Wednesday versus the Blues despite prior reports suggesting he would not suit up, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid is poised to end an eight-game absence due to the injury. His return would be a welcome sight for an Oilers team that has watched injuries pile up at forward, which had Edmonton staring down the prospect of facing the Blues with just 11 forwards and six defensemen available. Assuming McDavid can play, he'll look to pick up where he left off -- he recorded a 13-game point streak with four goals and 15 assists prior to his injury.

McDavid (lower body) isn't expected to play Wednesday versus St. Louis, per Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid is still expected to be back before the end of the regular season, though. He has 26 goals and 90 points in 63 appearances this season. His next opportunity to return will be Friday versus San Jose.

McDavid (lower body), contrary to previous reports, is unlikely to suit up during the Oilers' three-game road trip, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Anything is possible for McDavid, who has returned from injuries ahead of schedule in the past. Still, with the Oilers' playoff spot relatively secure, there is no reason for the team to rush its world-class center back into the lineup until he is 100 percent. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should see increased opportunities while McDavid remains on the shelf.

Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Sunday that McDavid (lower body) won't travel with the Oilers for the start of their road trip that begins Tuesday in Vegas, but the 28-year-old could return at some point during the trip, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid has already missed four games due to his lower-body injury, and Knoblauch said that the center will presumably be sidelined for the first two games of Edmonton's road trip. As a result, it's safe to assume that McDavid will be unavailable Tuesday against the Golden Knights and Thursday against the Sharks. However, he's expected to return before the end of the regular season, which should give him some time to get back into a rhythm before the start of the playoffs.

McDavid (lower body) will probably miss Edmonton's next three games, starting with Wednesday's matchup versus Dallas, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid sat out Saturday's 5-4 win over Seattle and was expected to miss about a week of action. Still, it's unclear when the 28-year-old forward will return to the lineup. He has amassed 26 goals, 90 points and 187 shots on net across 63 appearances this season. With McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) unavailable, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will continue to see top-line minutes.

McDavid (lower body) will undergo an MRI on Friday and will be unavailable versus Seattle on Saturday, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid is riding a 13-game point streak in which he has racked up four goals and 15 assists, including six power-play points. The world-class center has already missed six games this season and will now be sidelined for a seventh. With Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) also on the shelf, the Oilers will likely move Ryan Nugent-Hopkins into the first-line center role and will need to shift Corey Perry or Viktor Arvidsson onto the No. 1 power-play unit.

McDavid (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Jets, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid came off the ice ailing late in the second period, and he'll be forced to miss the rest of this game. The Oilers are suddenly in dire straits at center, as Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) was not able to play Thursday. Both of the team's top centers will be questionable heading into Saturday's home game versus the Kraken. The Oilers are sufficiently above the playoff bubble, so expect them to play it safe with McDavid's health.
