Nov 6, 2024 | 11:09 AM

EDMONTON — Connor McDavid is ready to return — well ahead of schedule.

The Oilers captain will be back in the lineup when Edmonton hosts the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday.

McDavid suffered an ankle injury early in a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 28.

The team announced the 27-year-old would miss up to three weeks of action, but he’s instead good to go after just nine days on the shelf.

The three-time Hart Trophy winner as NHL MVP has three goals and 10 points in 10 contests this season.
