How did Connor perform on day one of camp?

There has to be a huge collective sigh of relief from Oilers fans and coaching staff alike following day one of Oilers training camp as Connor McDavid took to the ice on Friday. TSN's Ryan Rishaug reported that McDavid took part in all team drills, without a non-contact jersey, and looked fine.

In a subsequent tweet, Rishaug went on to say that McDavid "seems to have full power", while accelerating to full speed up the ice, without issue.

Rishaug believes, though, that the Oilers intend to hold McDavid out of all scrimmages and it is unlikely that he suits up for any exhibition games. The Oilers do not want to take any chances when it comes to their Captain and appear to be targeting the season opener for his official return to game action.
