Edmonton Oilers fans can breathe a sigh of relief after Connor McDavid left Saturday's contest versus the Montreal Canadiens following a blocked shot on defenseman Jeff Petry.
McDavid labored to the bench and was seen limping to the dressing room, however, in his postgame media scrum, Oilers coach Todd McLellan noted that X-rays on McDavid came back negative.
McLellan added that he expects McDavid will be in the lineup next game, when the Oilers head to Winnipeg on Wednesday to take on the Jets.
The Oilers have won four straight and now sit just four points outside of a playoff position.
