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.
Including the game where he was injured, the Oilers (6-6-1) went 2-2-0 minus McDavid.
