Watch: Oilers rookie Connor McDavid scores in first game back from injury

Edmonton Oilers rookie Connor McDavid wasted little time making an impact in his first game back from a broken clavicle on Tuesday.

Edmonton Oilers fans are happy to have forward Connor McDavid back, and he proved why during Tuesday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. 

McDavid hasn’t played since Nov. 3 when he broke his left clavicle after crashing into the boards in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers. 

On Tuesday night, the No. 1 pick in the 2015 draft skated down the ice, split two defenders and then faked out Blue Jackets goalie Joonas Korpisalo to give Edmonton its second goal of the game.

McDavid had missed 37 games this season. Before sustaining the injury, he tallied five goals and seven assists in 13 games.

The rookie was pretty pumped. 

And he got some love from his teammates too.

The Oilers went on to beat the Blue Jackets 5–1.
