McDavid’s Lower-Body Scare Leaves Oilers Holding Their Breath

Connor McDavid exits with a lower-body injury after taking contact late against the Jets, and Edmonton suddenly looks very thin where it can least afford it. The captain sits out the third period, and Kris Knoblauch has no real update after the game, which is never the kind of sentence that calms anybody down in that building. The Oilers were already missing Leon Draisaitl, so this turns a tense night into a full-on roster stress test.
