Oilers' Connor McDavid, Stuart Skinner Injured in OT Loss

The Edmonton Oilers faced a challenging game against the Winnipeg Jets, losing 4-3 in overtime while also grappling with significant injuries to key players, including captain Connor McDavid and goaltender Stuart Skinner. McDavid sustained a lower-body injury during the second period after a collision with Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey, forcing him to sit out the remainder of the game. The Oilers were already without star forward Leon Draisaitl, further complicating their playoff push. Despite these setbacks, players like Jeff Skinner and Zach Hyman stepped up, with Skinner scoring twice to help tie the game in the third period. Head coach Kris Knoblauch emphasized the team's depth and the need for other players to rise to the occasion in McDavid's absence. As the team awaits further updates on McDavid's injury, the Oilers are focused on overcoming these adversities as they approach the playoffs.
