According to Ryan Rishaug, the plan for Connor McDavid is to be in the lineup tonight. Barring any setback this morning, it is expected that McDavid will make his return for the Heritage Classic against the flames.
McDavid took a full practice yesterday, his first since going out with an upper-body injury. He was expected to miss up to a week due to the injury, however, he appeared to be in full swing during practice.
We await an official lineup announcement from the Edmonton Oilers, however, all signs are pointing to their captain's return.
