Connor McDavid's 42-point performance in the Edmonton Oilers playoffs was remarkable, especially considering he battled a severe injury that likely required surgery.

Despite these challenges, McDavid's determination and skill earned him the Conn Smythe Trophy, underscoring his leadership and impact on the ice. Additionally, Leon Draisaitl also played through significant injuries, including issues with his finger and rib, which significantly affected his production and scoring, including no goals in the seven-game series against the Florida Panthers.

"The war of attrition took its toll on the Oilers. Head coach Kris Knoblauch didn't divulge any information Monday night after the loss, but both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have been playing through significant injuries, Oilersnation has learned. McDavid has played through an abdominal injury that likely requires surgery, while Draisaitl has been banged up too, I've been told. He's believed to be dealing with a broken rib and finger. It's nothing new for a laundry list of players to be dealing with injuries after deep playoff runs, and surely we'll hear of more in the coming days." - Oilers Nation

McDavid's commitment to playing through injury and still excelling is a testament to his resilience and dedication. As he focuses on rehabilitation this offseason, the Oilers and their fans can look forward to seeing him return in top form, seeking redemption in the upcoming season. With both McDavid and Draisaitl expected to recover, Edmonton will aim to build on their deep playoff run and contend for the Stanley Cup again.
