Connor McDavid Played With Fracture In Foot-Ankle Area

Saturday was a revelatory one for the Edmonton Oilers in which Connor McDavid was at the center. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch revealed that McDavid played through a fracture in the foot and ankle area en route to losing in six games to the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference quarterfinals. He also said forward Jason Dickinson had a similar injury. “Obviously, it affected their play, Knoblauch said in speaking with reporters at the team’s final media session. “But, [we have] a lot of admiration for them wanting to be out there, and contributing as much as they did during the playoffs.”
