EDGE Analysis
McDavid was awaiting the results of additional testing, but it appears his positive was confirmed. With McDavid out of action, Leon Draistail will slot into the first-line center role and figures to serve as the focal point of the Oilers' offense. Even with his absence, McDavid is on pace to cruise to another 100-plus-point campaign this season.
