Connor McDavid Leaves Road Trip With Injury
3 weeks agoEdmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (lower body) will miss the rest of the team's road trip after getting hurt on Monday versus Columbus. The Oilers captain was injured on his first shift against the Blue Jackets and has returned to Edmonton to get evaluated for a lower-body injury. The team hit the halfway point of its four-game road trip on Monday and has two more stops to come, starting with Thursday's matchup against Nashville. McDavid has been slow out the gate this season but still averages a point per game through 10 outings with three goals and seven assists. Adam Henrique could get a chance to rejoin the top six in McDavid's absence, with Leon Draisaitl taking over as the first-line center.
