Edmonton Oilers\u2019 star forward, Connor McDavid, is facing a setback as he will be out of action for a period ranging from one to two weeks due to an upper-body injury incurred during a recent match against the Winnipeg Jets.<\/p>\n
During the game, McDavid exhibited signs of discomfort, particularly seen clutching his left hip area following a collision with Jets\u2019 defenseman Josh Morrissey near the Oilers\u2019 bench.<\/p>\n
Head coach Jay Woodcroft provided initial insights, suggesting the injury may be more muscular in nature, an observation made during the course of the play.<\/p>\n
In the current season, spanning five games, McDavid has secured two goals and amassed six points. This follows his extraordinary performance in the previous season, where he achieved a career-high of 64 goals and an impressive 153 points. McDavid\u2019s extraordinary prowess led him to a landmark 60-goal season, clinching the NHL\u2019s top spot with 153 points.<\/p>\n
As the Oilers embark on their season, their record stands at 1 win, 3 losses, and 1 overtime loss in the initial five games. In their most recent match, they were defeated in overtime, with the Winnipeg Jets sealing the game with a winning goal courtesy of Mark Scheifele.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, McDavid\u2019s injury timetable coincides with a significant event on the Oilers\u2019 schedule. He will be absent when the team hosts the Flames in the highly anticipated Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium next Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
