Connor McDavid is ready to return — well ahead of schedule.
The Oilers captain will return to the lineup when Edmonton hosts the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday.
McDavid suffered an ankle injury early in the game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on October 28.
The team announced that the 27-year-old would be out for up to three weeks, but he was instead able to play after just nine days on the shelf.
The three-time Hart Trophy winner as NHL MVP scored three goals and 10 points in 10 games this season.
Including the games in which he was injured, the Oilers (6-6-1) are 2-2-0 minus McDavid.
