Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

McDavid has been out since suffering an ankle injury on October 28. given a delay of two to three weeks return, but only missed three games.

"I feel good," McDavid said. “I can’t wait to go back and do it again.”

The injury occurred 37 seconds into his first shift against the Columbus Blue Jackets after being tripped by defenseman Zach Werenski. McDavid fell awkwardly into the boards and did not return to the game.

McDavid said he didn’t have a great feeling about the injury that night in Columbus, but after working with the Oilers athletic training staff, he felt more confident he would be return earlier than expected.

“It can hurt and swell and stuff, but it can go away pretty quickly,” McDavid said. “It’s something I’ve had a little bit before and maybe it’s just the result of an old injury or something, but it feels good.”

The Oilers lost that game to the Blue Jackets, but won two of the three games McDavid missed, including a victory in Sunday’s “Battle of Alberta” against the Calgary Flames.
