Edmonton Oilers rookie Connor McDavid was injured in Tuesday’s 4-2 win versus the Philadelphia Flyers.
The 2015 No. 1 overall draft pick appeared to be favoring his arm after falling into the boards on a breakaway. He left the game and did not return.
McDavid was spotted on the bench after leaving.
