Connor McDavid’s playing in next night’s vital game is a mystery, even with the start of Game 5 of the Anaheim series just a few hours away.

Oilers head coach Chris Knoblauch told the media after the morning ice that the team would make a decision about McDavid’s playing only moments before the match. The match starts at five in the morning Finnish time.
