Trent Frederic
For the first time his the trade, Trent Frederic participated in a skate. When he was acquired, it was known that he was recovering from an ankle injury.
Frederic joining the team at this point is a very positive sign. On March 21st, it was reported that he would be out at least another two weeks. That two-week timeline ends on Friday, April 4th. That would be the absolute earliest you could expect to see Frederic in a game.
Evander Kane
Evander Kane has been skating with the team for a bit. He is recovering from both knee surgery and core/sports hernia surgery.
Similar to Frederic, it’s a positive sign that he is skating with the team. Unfortunately for Kane (and the Oilers) he won’t be ready for the end of the regular season. At this point, the goal for Kane is just to get his legs up to speed until he can get into a game situation.
Connor McDavid
In a surprising move, Connor McDavid joined the Oilers for the beginning of the road trip, despite Kris Knoblauch giving information to the contrary.
It sounds like a lot is up in the air regarding McDavid’s availability for the remainder of the season. Knoblauch made it sound like he could be back for the last week of the regular season, but did not give a definitive timeline on the Captain’s return.
