McDavid underwent successful surgery on his shoulder and is expected to be sidelined for several months, Sportsnet's Mark Spector reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers are saying McDavid will be sidelined for four months, but the report suggests he could return in 2-to-3 months, so it's not entirely clear when he will be able to return to game action. While he is facing a lengthy recovery either way, the good news is doctors needed only to repair his broken collarbone, and did not find any tears in the surrounding muscles. McDavid should make a full recovery and be ready to get back on the ice at some point early next year.

McDavid (collarbone) is expected to have surgery to repair his fractured clavicle, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It didn't take long for McDavid to establish himself as one of the preeminent point scorers in the league, scoring five goals and 12 points in 13 games. It's unclear as to the timeline for return for the 18-year-old phenom, but it's expected to be months, not weeks, for the Oiler.

McDavid suffered an upper body injury Tuesday that will keep him sidelined long term, Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury is likely a separated shoulder or a broken collarbone, suffered when McDavid went hard into the boards in the second period Tuesday. The Oilers will update his status Wednesday, presumably with a timeline for his return, but this is obviously pretty awful news for the promising rookie.

McDavid (shoulder) will not return to Tuesday's game, CSN Philadelphia's Tim Panaccio reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will miss the third period after hitting the boards hard in the second period. The talented rookie was seen with his left shoulder in a sling, and it is unclear how serious the injury is. More information should be forthcoming in the coming days, but hopefully this is just a minor malady.

McDavid left the game Tuesday night after hitting the boards and apparently injuring his shoulder, reports Edmonton Sun's Rob Tychkowski.
EDGE Analysis
No one should think the worst until the final word comes down but McDavid hit the boards extremely hard and wasn't moving his arm as he went to the locker room. McDavid has been quite promising so far this in his rookie season and would be a big loss to the NHL, Edmonton, and fantasy owners should this be anything more than an injury that keeps him out for a game or two.

McDavid registered a point in his seventh straight game Thursday, collecting two assists in a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie prodigy is now tied for fifth in the NHL with 12 points in 11 games this season. McDavid was able to poke the puck to Benoit Pouliot, who beat Carey Price to tie the game 3-3 in the third. He's been exactly as advertised through his first month in the league and has the Oilers trending in the right direction.

McDavid tallied an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid got the secondary assist on Taylor Hall's first-period goal in another heartbreaking loss for Edmonton. With 10 points in 10 games, McDavid is tied with Coyotes forward Max Domi for most points among NHL rookies. He's on a point-per-game pace through his first 10 games, which isn't too shabby for the prodigal hockey son.

McDavid made his only shot count in Wednesday's win over the Red Wings, recording his first career game-winning goal while seeing 15:36 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
The 18-year-old phenom has four goals and six points in his first seven career NHL games, and is very much living up to all the hype he received before being picked first overall in the 2015 draft. McDavid's second-period snipe is sure to be the first of many game-winners to come.

McDavid exploded for two goals and an assist in Saturday's win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
What a showing from McDavid, who has now scored three goals in his last three games. He fired a career-high four shots on goal in the victory and netted his first ever NHL goal with the man advantage. Look for the 18-year-old to build off his three-point outburst and absolutely take off.
