Oilers management decide to rest McDavid in final two Young Stars Classic games

Connor McDavid spent more time signing autographs than playing games at the Young Stars Classic, which meant only a sampler for fans who had bought tickets to the event. The Edmonton Oilers’ management decided there was little to gain from McDavid playing all three games at the rookie tournament — dressing him last Friday night against the Vancouver Canucks’ rookies, then sitting him out against the Calgary Flames Saturday and Monday against the Winnipeg Jets.
