The focus, however, shifted to Connor McDavid, the team's key player. During the game, he sat out the final four minutes of the third period and all of overtime. This has raised questions and concerns.
In a video clip circulating online, McDavid was heard talking to TD Forss, the Oilers' Athletic Therapist, suggesting a possible injury. The video can be viewed here.
Hockey fans, especially those who support the Oilers, are now awaiting updates on McDavid's condition. His pivotal role on the team means his health status has a significant impact on the season's performance.
