During his end-of-season exit interview yesterday, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch provided injury updates on several players, including Connor McDavid.

Many fans might not be shocked to learn that both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl battled significant injuries during these playoffs. Draisaitl, in particular, struggled with injuries to his hand and ribs, possibly including a broken rib and hand bone. The severity was such that Knoblauch and the coaching staff were unsure if he could play each night.
Kris Knoblauch said Leon Draisaitl had hand and rib injuries that left staff questioning whether he could play, while forward Evander Kane had a sports hernia and captain Connor McDavid was also playing hurt.
