He will be re-evaluated in a week, but numerous reports think he too could miss the start of the playoffs. I remember people writing articles stating how Ethan Bear made Darnell Nurse better based on WOWY as well as CF%, GF% and xGF%. I think it is dangerous to suggest Puljujarvi makes McDavid better due McDavid’s GF%, xGF% and other numbers with and without Puljujarvi. Having Kane, Puljujarvi, as well as Zach Hyman , Warren Foegele and Zack Kassian has given the Oilers a much different look up front. The size, skill and speed of the Oilers forwards is much better this season, especially in the top nine.
