Concerns Rise Over McDavid's Injury from Last Night's Game.

Recent footage has emerged showing McDavid discussing his injury with the Oilers' medical team.

Attention was drawn to McDavid at the end of the Oilers-Jets game and during the overtime, especially when he was seen on the bench. He didn't play towards the end of the third period and missed all of overtime, suggesting a potential injury. Some think the injury occurred when McDavid was skating.
