Knoblauch said McDavid will be sidelined for “maybe a week” with a lower-body injury, while Draisaitl’s timeline is “up to a week.”

The Edmonton Oilers will be without both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl for a few games, head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed Friday while providing a return timeline. Knoblauch ruled the pair out of Saturday’s game against the Seattle Kraken and said they are “probably up to a week” away from returning.

The Edmonton Oilers lost both a game and another superstar Thursday, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Winnipeg Jets after Connor McDavid left with a lower-body injury.
