You can put this one under 'things you don't want to see' for Oilers fans. Connor McDavid was sandwiched by Alex Edler and Jaret Anderson-Dolan, causing immediate concern over his health. A huge scrum involving Darnell Nurse and Edler, ending with the former ragdolling the latter.

The Oilers were rightfully upset by this one, as Edler clearly extended his leg in attempts to catch Edmonton's captain. Just minutes later, McDavid would catch the veteran defender with his back turned and he let Edler have it. He dropped him from behind and received two-minutes for cross-checking.
I quote The Mighty Ducks: D2; 2 minutes? Well worth it.
