Connor McDavid Suffers Lower-Body Injury, Returns to Edmonton for Evaluation

The Edmonton Oilers' star center is expected to miss at least two games after a collision during a loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Connor McDavid was injured in the first minute of the Oilers' 6-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets after a collision with defenseman Zach Werenski.
Following the incident, McDavid managed to leave the ice under his own power but did not return to the game.
Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch announced that McDavid will miss the upcoming games against Nashville and Calgary.
McDavid, a three-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner, has accumulated 10 points in 10 games this season.
The Oilers' record fell to 4-5-1 after the loss, as they continue their road trip without their star player.
