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.
