EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers lost both a game and another superstar Thursday, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Winnipeg Jets after Connor McDavid left with a lower-body injury.
The Oilers were already without NHL-leading goal scorer Leon Draisaitl . Edmonton coach Kris Knoblauch said Friday that both players will likely be out at least a week.
The Oilers also lost starting goaltender Stuart Skinner late in the third period against the Jets, but Knoblauch said he will be available Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. The Oilers still have 12 available forwards and are unable to promote someone from Bakersfield in the American Hockey League due to cap space, unless it is an emergency call-up.
"I thought there was a great effort by so many of our guys. There's no quit, and we're gonna need more of that."
