COLUMBUS — Connor McDavid sustained a lower-body injury on his first shift when the Edmonton Oilers lost 6-1 to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena on Monday.

McDavid left the game after he was tripped by Zach Werenski along the right boards while trying to enter the offensive zone during his 37-second opening shift. He appeared to be favoring his left leg while skating to the Oilers bench.

Edmonton ruled him out for the rest of the game midway through the first period. McDavid (three goals, seven assists) is tied with Leon Draisaitl for first on the Oilers with 10 points this season.

Sean Monahan scored twice, Cole Sillinger had a goal and two assists and Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko each had two points for the Blue Jackets (4-3-1). Elvis Merzlikins made 31 saves.

Mattias Ekholm scored, and Stuart Skinner made 19 saves for the Oilers (4-5-1), who defeated the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 in overtime on Sunday.

Edmonton is 4-2-1 in its past seven games following a 0-3-0 start.

Monahan made it 1-0 at 2:18 of the first period with a power-play goal, redirecting Marchenko’s shot past Skinner.

Fantilli scored at 10:44 of the first to make it 2-0 with a one-timer from close range off a pass by Sillinger from the left corner.

Sillinger upped the lead to 3-0 at 14:32 with a 71-foot wrist shot through traffic after a giveaway at the blue line.

Mathieu Olivier made it 4-0 at 7:04 of the second period. He stole the puck in the right corner and fed James van Riemsdyk in front, but Olivier ultimately pounced on the loose puck for his fourth goal this season.

Mikael Pyyhtia scored his first NHL goal in his 27th NHL game at 15:15 of the third period from Fantilli to make it 5-0. Monahan scored at 16:39 to make it 6-1.

Ekholm scored on the power play at 19:33 for the 6-1 final.
