Connor McDavid out 2-3 weeks with quad injury

The Edmonton Oilers were dealt some horrible news on Tuesday.

The team announced that their superstar forward Connor McDavid will be sidelined for the next two-to-three weeks after suffering a quad injury during Saturday night’s 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators.

Oilers GM remains optimistic that the injury will not be long-term, adding that it is “totally unrelated” to the knee injury he dealt with for the entire offseason.

The 23-year old has recorded 30 goals and 51 assists in 55 games this season.
