McDavid cleared for full contact, will skate with AHL's Condors over break

Connor McDavid's return is on the horizon.

The Edmonton Oilers forward has been cleared for full contact and plans to skate with the AHL's Bakersfield Condors over the NHL All-Star break, but won't play any games.

"It'll be good to skate with those guys and have some high-intensity practices," McDavid said Sunday.

He's been recovering from a broken clavicle suffered Nov. 3 in a win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

McDavid resumed skating Jan. 1, but the club said he wouldn't return before the All-Star break, which begins later this week.

The 19-year-old notched 12 points in his first 13 NHL games after the Oilers selected him first overall last June.
