Oilers' McDavid Out 2-3 Weeks with Ankle Injury

News summary

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is set to miss two to three weeks due to an ankle injury sustained in the first shift of a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The injury occurred when McDavid collided with Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski and awkwardly fell into the boards. Edmonton, already struggling with a 4-5-1 start to the season, now faces the challenge of performing without their star player. McDavid, who has three goals and ten points this season, is crucial to the Oilers' performance, having previously led them to a near Stanley Cup win. Despite his absence, Oilers management is not making any immediate roster changes, relying instead on current players to step up. The team will continue their road trip without McDavid and hopes for a short-term recovery for their captain.
