Oilers’ Connor McDavid will play in Game 5 vs. Ducks

Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid, who had been listed as a game-time decision due to an ankle injury suffered in Game 2, will play in Game 5 against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night. The Ducks hold a 3-1 series lead in the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series, leaving the Oilers facing elimination. McDavid, the NHL's scoring champion, has been visibly hampered by the injury and took a maintenance day ahead of Game 4 instead of practicing.
