Oilers' McDavid & Dickinson: Game Five Do-or-Die

0:00On April 28th, the Edmonton Oilers are staring down elimination in Game 5 of their Western Conference first round series against the Anaheim Ducks. Captain Connor McDavid and Ford Jason Dickinson are both game time decisions for Tuesday's 10pm Eastern Time match-up at Rogers Place. Neither hit the ice for the morning skate, and with the Ducks up three games to one, this ones do or die for Edmonton. McDavid's been nursing an ankle injury from Game 2 that's clearly slowed him down. He's still the heart of this team though, after leading the entire league this season with 138.48 goals, and 90 assists over 82 games. Fans are holding their breath because losing their star captain could end Edmonton's playoff run right here. Meanwhile, McDavid just got named a finalist for the Ted Lindsay Award. The one player's vote on for the league's top performer, a win would put him alongside Wayne Gretzky with five honors. Dickinson made his return in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss in Game 4, picking up an assist

1:02after sitting out the prior two with a lower body. Issue. The guy was traded over from Chicago on March 6, and chipped in four points in just 17 games during the regular season. As the Oilers fight to extend their season, all eyes they locked on these two forwards. Their status could flip the script on the series entirely.
