Oilers' Connor McDavid expected to miss 2-3 weeks with quad injury - Sportsnet.caEdmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is expected to miss two to three weeks with a quad injury, general manager Ken Holland announced on Tuesday. It's almost like playing 27-30 minutes a night is bad. I know this is going to come off horribly, and I'll sound like a terrible person but...this is kinda perfect for the Canucks. In a tight race in the Pacific, the Oilers lose their top scorer. Thankfully, it's only a few weeks. Hate to see anyone go out long-term.. Except Marchand Who woulda thought Nashville would play playoff spoiler at this point in the season.
