Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland expects Connor McDavid to be ready for the start of training camp after suffering a knee injury in the team's regular-season finale in April.

"He's doing good," Holland said, according to the team. "I've seen him twice this week ... he's rehabbing.

"I expect to see him on the ice at training camp. Working very closely with our medical team and the medical people that he's got in Toronto to make sure he's getting the best care possible. He's in great spirits."

McDavid injured his posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) after crashing into the post at nearly full speed but didn't require surgery.

The 22-year-old is coming off a career 116-point season, and his 324 points over the last three campaigns leads all players.
