Moments ago, the Edmonton Oilers shared a revised lineup for tonight's game against the Washington Capitals after Connor McDavid was suspended for three games.

Nugent-Hopkins scored just his second five-on-five point of the season away from Connor McDavid. It’s been an unusu

How does a team replace Connor McDavid in their lineup? That’s an easy question — They don’t. With the team’s captain serving the first game of a three-game suspension for cross-checking, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said it’ll take a community approach to handle playing without McDavid.

The hockey club will be without captain Connor McDavid for the first half of that homestand as the NHL handed him a three-game suspension on Monday after he delivered a crosscheck on Canucks forward Conor Garland near the end of a game Vancouver won 3-2 on Saturday.

Draisaitl, who found chemistry playing with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Kailer Yamamoto ... and Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck each got one first-place vote. Earlier this season, the Oilers went 2-1-0 when McDavid was out with an ankle injury.

Nugent-Hopkins notched a power-play assist, two PIM and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks. Nugent-Hopkins has earned four goals and three assists over nine outings in a productive January.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid continues to climb up the ... and McDavid scored on a slick pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, tying the game at 2-2 to end the first period.

Vasily Podkolzin scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Minnesota Wild 5-3 for their seventh win in eight games.

Adam Henrique scored two goals and Connor McDavid scored on a power play midway through the second period as the Edmonton Oilers won their fourth straight game, 4-0 over the Boston Bruins.

And the ensuing cluster puck at the end of Saturday’s game in Vancouver led to a chain reaction that turned what should have been a special evening against the Washington Capitals into two violent incidents, two disciplinary hearings and another example of the NHL’s inability to figure itself out.

The Edmonton Oilers went 3-1 in four games last week, including two come-from-behind wins, and almost pulled off another against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan.
