Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid out 2 to 3 weeks with quad injury

Feb 11, 2020 | 11:27 AM

Edmonton captain Connor McDavid will be out two to three weeks with a quad injury.

“That’s a normal timeline for this injury. We’re hoping less,” GM Ken Holland told reporters Tuesday.

The injury was initially said to be a bruised knee from Saturday’s game against the Nashville Predators. McDavid later called it a charley-horse/quad injury.

“I just banged it,” he said Monday, saying the leg was “sore and swollen.”

The Oilers captain said the injury was not related to the knee problem sustained in last year’s season finale against Calgary. McDavid suffered a tear of the posterior cruciate ligament, a torn meniscus and cracked fibia.
