During his post practice press conference <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers</a> head coach Kris Knoblauch has addressed Connor McDavid leaving practice early. This afternoon, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/connor-mcdavid-mysteriously-leaves-oilers-practice-early-after-discussion-with-training-staff' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Connor McDavid caused panic as he left practice early</a> after a conversation with the training staff. While McDavid has not dealt with any reported injuries throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs this caused major speculation that he might be dealing with a new injury. After practice, Knoblauch took to the podium and addressed McDavid's health and cleared up any speculation about what occurred at practice. <h3>Kris Knoblauch Gives An Update On Connor McDavid's Injury Scare After Practice</h3> During the press conference the first order of business was a proper update on McDavid. According to Knoblauch, there is nothing to be concerned about long-term with McDavid and he will be fully available for Game 1. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jasongregor/status/1929236933919523095'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/brendenescott/status/1929236974356857048'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> This is a major sigh of relief for the Edmonton Oilers fan base and a good sign for the upcoming series against <a href='https://www.nhl.com/panthers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Florida Panthers</a>. Knoblauch then went on to address Connor Brown's health and admits that things are less certain with him but he will likely play in Game 1. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jasongregor/status/1929238450420568083'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> While these updates are reassuring regarding the health of both Brown and McDavid a lot can still change before Game 1 on Wednesday. With Zach Hyman already done for the season with his wrist injury, the Edmonton Oilers will need all hands on deck so these positive updates on potential injuries are a huge sigh of relief. As Game 1 draws closer, we will continue to provide all of the latest injury updates on the Edmonton Oilers.
