The last last environments Connor McDavid and Connor Brown before the game tonight between the oilers and the panthers

Edmonton fans will be relieved to know that both Connor McDavid and Connor Brown are expected to play tonight.

In the case of McDavid, he ended up leaving Sunday before it was a disease.

Similarly, the associated press writer Stephen Whyno reported that Brown, who lost the last two games of the Edmonton series against the stars with a non -disseminated injury, lost the practice on Tuesday with an illness.

Although McDavid is expected to play after registering on Tuesday, Brown is considered to be a decision of play time.

Before losing Tuesday with a disease, Brown's state was optimistic, like coach Kris Knoblauch Saud on Sunday:

“I think it will be fine. Obviously, you saw it on the ice and the double changing, and I am sure and confident that it will be fine for game 1.”

The big question now is whether Brown will be able to fight for the disease.
