During the second period, McDavid bumped into Predators defenceman Dante Fabbro and appeared to hit his knee as he went into the boards. The 23-year-old suffered a serious injury to his left knee during the season finale last year which required a lengthy rehab session during the off-season.
In 54 games this season, McDavid has 30 goals and is second in the NHL with 80 points.
