Connor McDavid will gut it out for a do-or-die Game 5 against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday with the Edmonton Oilers trailing 3-1 in the series.
The Oilers captain is in the lineup after previously being considered a game-time decision due to an undisclosed issue.

McDavid appears to be battling a lower-body injury. He played just 19:32 in an overtime loss in Game 4 on Sunday after logging at least 23:50 in the first three games of the series and averaging 22:59 during the regular season.
The 29-year-old was held without a point in the first two games of the series but has collected a goal and three assists over his last two outings.
