Connor McDavid's participation in the outdoor game is uncertain as he recovers from an upper-body injury. The game commemorates the 20th anniversary of the NHL's first outdoor game. The conditions for the game are expected to be near freezing.
McDavid has missed the Oilers last two games with an upper-body injury, but was a full participant in practice at Commonwealth Stadium Saturday evening, as the Oilers prepared to host the Calgary Flames in a game that commemorates the 20th anniversary of the NHL’s first outdoor game in 2003.
“I thought it was a good sign that he practised,” said Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft. “We’ll see, but he looked pretty good to me.” Montreal beat Edmonton 4-3, but what people most remember is how cold it was. The temperature was -18 C with wind chills that made it feel like -30 C. A little more than 20 years ago, Tkachuk stood on the green turf of Commonwealth Stadium alongside then-Oilers president Patrick LaForge. The two men were taking a lay of the land.Sunday’s game will be the NHL's 38th regular-season outdoor game.
