Derek Van Diest: Knoblauch yesterday said that McDavid has a lower-body injury and added:
“Connor’s got a doctor’s appointment today to see how long he’s going to be, and we’re not anticipating him playing tomorrow for sure. I would say day-to-day, maybe a week, we’ll find out more today.
“Same kind of timeline (for Draisaitl). He won’t be back immediately; he’ll be up to a week.”
Knoblauch said that if the playoffs were starting now, he doesn’t think they would be ready to go.
