Connor McDavid is returning to Edmonton to be evaluated for a lower-body injury, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said on Monday night.
McDavid left Monday\'s 6-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets after getting injured just 37 seconds in, during his first shift. The Oilers captain was tripped up by Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski while crossing the blue line and crashed awkwardly into the boards. McDavid left the ice on his own and did not return.
