X-rays negative after Connor McDavid hurt in Edmonton Oilers’ season finale, a 3-1 win over Calgary Flames Globe_Sports
Connor McDavid gets treatment for his injured knee after crashing into Calgary Flames goalie Mike Smith during second-period NHL hockey action in Calgary on Saturday.The Edmonton Oilers believe they received relatively good news after Connor McDavid left Saturday’s season finale with a leg injury.
The sold-out Scotiabank Saddledome went quiet as he remained down for a few minutes before being helped off the ice by teammate Zack Kassian and a trainer, while putting no weight on his left leg. “It’s scary,” said Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse. “He’s the best player in the league. You see him go down like that, he’s not a guy that ever goes down and stays down. He always hops back up. The guy means so much to not only this team but the organization, the city. I think everyone kind of held their breath there.”“That’s the best player in the game. I hope he’s OK,” said the Flames captain. “I’ll reach out to him and hopefully get an answer, but it’s a one-on-one.
Draisaitl is the first Oiler to reach 50 goals since Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri both did it in 1986-87.
