Connor McDavid Potential Injury Overshadows Loss To Jets
The Edmonton Oilers may have lost the game tonight to the Winnipeg Jets in overtime, but the biggest scare for Edmonton Oilers fans is what is going on with Connor McDavid and his potential injury.
There was a play at the end of the third period where McDavid appeared to tweak some sort of muscle issue, but the fact he didn’t play a minute in overtime is very concerning to me, as it should be to all Edmonton Oilers fans.
