McDavid, Draisaitl sit out Oilers practice ahead of Game 4 against Ducks

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl sat out Edmonton Oilers practice ahead of Game 4 of their first-round playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks, with coach Kris Knoblauch citing maintenance days. The Ducks lead the best-of-seven series 2-1 after a 7-4 victory in Game 3, with Draisaitl — returning from a knee injury that cost him the final 14 regular-season games — leading the Oilers with six playoff points. Forward Jason Dickinson, who missed Games 2 and 3 with a lower-body injury, returned to practice and had scored two goals in Game 1.
