Connor McDavid Departs With Lower-Body Injury
15 seconds agoEdmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (lower body) exited Thursday's contest with a lower-body injury. McDavid departed during the second period in clear pain. Before exiting, he tallied one helper and held a +1 rating. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status heading into their next contest on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. No. 2 center Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) was also unable to play on Thursday, which could leave Edmonton quite undermanned for Saturday's game. Entering Thursday, McDavid was riding a 12-game point streak and was able to extend it to 13 before exiting. During these 12 games, McDavid found the back of the net four times and added 14 helpers. Through 63 games, McDavid has tallied 90 points. If he were to miss Saturday's game, Draisaitl will take his spot on the top line or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will shift to the center position.
