NHL superstar will miss time with ankle injury

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid, who left Monday’s game after his first shift, suffered an ankle injury on the play and will be out two to three weeks, the team said Wednesday.

McDavid was tripped on a uncalled penalty during the first period as he entered the Columbus Blue Jackets’ zone in a 6-1 loss and slid into the boards. McDavid got up and skated slowly to the Oilers’ bench, holding up his left leg.

Coach Kris Knoblauch said after the game that McDavid was returning to Edmonton to be further evaluated.

The Oilers will play five to eight games during the timeframe that McDavid will be out.

McDavid is a three-time league MVP and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after the Oilers lost to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

He has 10 points in 10 games this season. The Oilers, who had bounced back to .500 after a slow start, fell to 4-5-1 with Monday’s loss.

The team recalled forwards Noah Philp and Drake Caggiula after the McDavid injury.

Colorado Avalanche injuries

Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Ross Colton (broken foot) will miss six to eight weeks. He had been playing on the top line and scored eight goals.

Forward Miles Wood (upper body) will be out seven to 10 days.
