Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland says his star player isn't likely to lace up the skates in any preseason games. Holland says the Oilers are going to be conservative, and safe rather than sorry, adding if Connor McDavid does play in the preseason, it will be one game at most, but "very likely zero."
McDavid tore his PCL in the season finale last April against Calgary. He's been rehabbing the injury since, although he did not undergo surgery.
Speaking in a media scrum at the Edmonton Country Club Tuesday, Holland stated "If he's not ready for opening night, he's not ready for opening night.”
The Oilers regular season starts at home on October 2nd against Vancouver.
