Connor McDavid skipped morning skate but is listed as expected to play for the Edmonton Oilers in Monday's must-win Game 6 at the Anaheim Ducks, with Edmonton facing elimination. The Oilers travel to Anaheim after losing Game 5, and McDavid's presence is pivotal because he drives Edmonton's playoff offense and can swing the series. Game 5 also featured a behind-the-play hit by Chris Kreider on Leon Draisaitl that officials did not penalize, adding a physical edge to Game 6.
