McDavid collected an assist, racked up 10 PIM, had a game-high seven takeaways and scored the shootout winner Thursday against the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
It was an eventful night for the young phenom, who was furious after he set up Ryan Strome for a goal in overtime only to have it taken away by a questionable goaltender interference ruling. After then scoring in the shootout, McDavid gestured to the ref to "check upstairs" and was assessed a ten-minute misconduct for abuse of officials. He won't face any further discipline, but it was clear McDavid wasn't happy with the officiating. The 21-year-old was flying in the victory and played 4:08 of the five-minute 3-on-3 overtime. The youngster heads into the All-Star break with seven points in his last six games, giving him 15 goals and 54 points in 49 games on the season.

EDGE Analysis
McDavid has now tallied 53 points in 47 games in 2017-18. While the fact that he has only found the back of the net once in his last 11 contests is concerning, the 21-year-old phenom remains a threat to register multiple points every night he is on the ice.

EDGE Analysis
McDavid is the fan-elected captain of the Pacific Division All Stars. With 15 goals and 37 assists this season, the former first-round pick is on pace to finish slightly under his 100-point total from 2016-17. However, McDavid remains a matchup-proof play in all formats.

McDavid (foot) shook off any signs of rust, hitting a pair of helpers during a 4-3 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
The Christmas break allowed McDavid a couple extra days off, and he seems to have put them to good use. He looked much like the star he's proven he can be, and he's scored five points in his past three games. Now that it's confirmed the injury wasn't serious, leave him in your lineup as long as he's skating.

McDavid (foot) will play Wednesday against Winnipeg, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid is likely still dealing with some soreness after blocking a slap shot with his foot during Saturday's 4-1 win over Montreal, but there was little doubt that he'd be available for Wednesday's contest once his post-game x-rays came back negative. The 20-year-old superstar will slot into his usual role skating on the Oilers' first line and top power-play unit against the Jets.

Fantasy owners can rest easy now that McDavid has returned to practice following a brief one-day absence. The center appears to be healthy and ready to go for Wednesday's tilt against the Flyers.
