Fans of the Edmonton Oilers are concerned after Connor McDavid missed practice today for the second day in a row. Many are left wondering whether something is wrong.

With no official announcement from the Edmonton Oilers themselves, it was up to radio colour commentator, and Sportsnet panelist Bob Stauffer to let everyone know that Connor McDavid was not at practice for the second day in a row.

As reporter Mark Spector pointed out, this is not how McDavid usually operates.

It's also worth noting that Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland recently recalled former first-round pick Dylan Holloway from the AHL's Bakersfield Condors. Holloway is participating in practice today.

The Edmonton Oilers currently have six games left in the 2023-24 regular season, with the first one taking place tomorrow night against the Vegas Golden Knights. This may be a simple case of a team resting its star player in advance of the post season. However, no update from the team itself has left many nervous with the playoffs so close.
