Edmonton Oilers fans were hit with disappointing news as their star player, Connor McDavid, is set to sit out for the next while.
For the next 1-2 weeks due to an upper-body injury. This injury was the result of a rather awkward hit from a Winnipeg Jets player during their recent game.
That's not all
Adding to the disappointment, McDavid will be absent from the upcoming Heritage Classic match against the Calgary Flames, which is just around the corner on Sunday. It's a tough break for the Oilers as they'll have to navigate through this period without their captain and leading scorer.
This situation undoubtedly poses a significant challenge for the team. They'll need to rely on their depth and work together to keep their performance up in McDavid's absence. The anticipation of McDavid's return will be on the minds of fans and teammates alike.
