## Resource

The Oilers are strategically managing Connor McDavid’s ice time, limiting his role on the penalty kill to preserve his energy for high-impact situations—power play and even-strength offense—while still allowing flexibility if the team takes multiple penalties. Associate coach D.J. Smith and head coach Mike Babcock are aligning around a disciplined, player-focused approach that prioritizes McDavid’s effectiveness as the team’s offensive engine in pursuit of a deep playoff run.
