Connor McDavid Tests Positive For COVID-19

October 5, 2020 at 9:21 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 10 Comments

The Edmonton Oilers have announced that earlier today, Connor McDavid tested positive for COVID-19. The superstar forward has entered into voluntary self-quarantine at his home and is experiencing mild symptoms.

The team did not include any information about where McDavid was tested, but NHL facilities are not yet open for groups to train together. Those changes are scheduled for October 15, when facilities will follow similar protocols to the return to play phase 2, limiting on-ice groups to 12 people at a time.

Obviously this isn’t an ideal situation, but the Oilers say McDavid is “doing well.” This will likely not be the last player to test positive for the virus as offseason training continues.

    In his defense, he has had a lot of time to catch it. Because the Oilers were eliminated from the bubble so quickly!

    By far the most important person diagnosed with Covid in the past week. Not even close.

    Sorry, Cam Newton.
