Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers is sidelined for 2-3 weeks due to an ankle injury sustained during a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. After just 37 seconds of play, he was tripped by Zach Werenski and crashed into the boards.

Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch expressed relief that the injury isn't more severe, acknowledging the challenge of losing such a pivotal player. With McDavid out, the team will rely on others to step up during their upcoming games.
