Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid is day-to-day after suffering an apparent lower-body injury, coach Kris Knoblauch said Tuesday.

McDavid will be questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Sportsnet’s Mark Spector reports that the injury happened with roughly five minutes left to play in Edmonton’s game Saturday against the Calgary Flames.

The Oilers are trying to be careful with McDavid’s injury, which isn’t believed to be serious.

McDavid has scored 31 goals and 99 assists for 130 points in 74 games this season.
