McDavid, Dickinson game-time decisions for Oilers in Game 5 of West 1st Round
Neither forward participated in the morning skate. The Oilers trail the best-of-7 series 3-1 and are facing elimination.
McDavid, their captain, sustained an ankle injury in Game 2 that has appeared to limit his mobility. He led the NHL this season with 138 points (48 goals, 90 assists) in 82 games.
On Tuesday, he was named one of three finalists for the Ted Lindsay Award, given annually to the most outstanding player in the League as voted by fellow members of the NHL Players’ Association. He could join Wayne Gretzky as the only player to win it five times.
Dickinson returned for a 4-3 overtime loss and had an assist in Game 4 on Sunday after missing the previous two because of a lower-body injury. He had four points (one goal, three assists) in 17 regular-season games with Edmonton after being acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks on March 6.
