Ekblad pokes fun at McDavid, injury in Twitter jab

Connor McDavid has to be nearing a return, because his previously broken clavicle has become fair game on Twitter.

Aaron Ekblad, in town with the Florida Panthers, landed a well-crafted social media jab after having his dinner paid for by his fellow first overall draft pick and Ontario Hockey League alumnus.

McDavid won't be in the lineup Sunday when the red-hot Panthers put their 11-game win streak on the line, but he shouldn't be too much longer. Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal wrote Saturday that Feb. 2 is McDavid's anticipated return date.
