The Edmonton Oilers should rejoice, since Connor McDavid is returning to the Yeg to practice with the Oilers on Monday, The Hockey News reports. However, fans, we must calm down and remember there is still a lot to be done.
The rookie was injured in early November when an awkward tumble into the boards on an odd play led to McDavid breaking his collarbone. His expected return time was in early March, but this is something of amazing, as the rookie is healing faster and ahead of schedule.
McDavid addressed the media earlier this month, saying that he was disappointed that he was held out of the lineup but that he is healing much better than he thought he would be.
