As the Edmonton Oilers face possible elimination from the playoffs Tuesday night, they may have to do so without star center Connor McDavid, a game-time decision due to an ankle injury.
McDavid sustained the injury to his right ankle in Game 2 and continued to play but has appeared limited.
The 29-year-old captain has one goal and three assists in the series after leading the league with 138 points (48 goals, 90 assists) in 82 games during the regular season.
The two-time defending Western Conference champion Oilers are down 3-1 in the best-of-seven first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks, who visit Edmonton on Tuesday night for Game 5 looking for their first series win in nine years.
Anaheim has won three in a row after blowing a late lead and dropping the series opener 4-3 on April 20.
The Oilers may also be without fellow center Jason Dickinson, who missed Games 2 and 3 with a lower-body injury before returning for Game 4. Dickinson is also a game-time decision.
