Is Connor McDavid playing tonight? Why Oilers' superstar stats are quiet vs. Stars image

The Edmonton Oilers rarely get off to a start this bad.

But on Tuesday night, they allowed the Dallas Stars to score each of the first four goals.

That came in tandem with a quiet start for the Oilers, who really couldn't get anything going on the offensive end.

That included for superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Is Connor McDavid playing tonight?

Yes, McDavid is healthy and active for the Oilers against the Stars.

He's been out there on the ice plenty in his signature No. 97.

Fans were just wondering where he was amid the blowout. McDavid usually notches at least a point, but he didn't come very close in the early stages of the game.

The Oilers would need McDavid to lead the charge to come back from what was a 4-0 and then a 4-1 deficit.

It just might not be Edmonton's night, though.
