Connor McDavid Ruled Out Of Next Game, Will Have MRI

Edmonton Oilers superstar captain Connor McDavid will undergo an MRI on Friday, one day after sustaining a lower-body injury in the second period of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

McDavid appeared to get hurt after being bumped by Winnipeg defenseman Josh Morrissey in his pursuit of the puck in the Jets' zone.

The severity of the injury was not immediately known for McDavid, who sat out the third period and overtime.

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch did not provide an update after the game; however, he said Friday that McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed injury) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the visiting Seattle Kraken.
