Connor McDavid leaves last game of Oilers' disappointing season with injury
Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid, left, has his knee tended too after crashing into Calgary Flames goalie Mike Smith during second period NHL hockey action in Calgary, Saturday, April 6, 2019. CALGARY -- The Edmonton Oilers believe they received relatively good news after Connor McDavid left Saturday's season finale with a leg injury.
McDavid was hurt early in the second period. Darting down the wing, McDavid had his feet knocked out from under him as he tried to cut around defenceman Mark Giordano. The Oilers captain slid hard into the goal post, his left leg taking the full brunt of the impact. McDavid finishes second in NHL scoring, 12 points back of Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov. McDavid's 41 goals equalled his career-best and his 116 points is a career high.
Draisaitl is the first Oiler to reach 50 goals since Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri both did it in 1986-87.
