Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid, forward Derek Ryan, and defenseman Tyson Barrie have been placed in COVID-19 protocol, the team announced Wednesday.

The trio of players wasn't in the lineup for Wednesday's 4-2 loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Oilers also placed forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on injured reserve and activated forward Zack Kassian from COVID-19 protocol.

McDavid leads the league with 53 points in 33 games while averaging over 22 minutes of ice time per contest. The 24-year-old previously tested positive and experienced mild symptoms in October 2020.

Barrie, 30, has recorded 17 points in 33 games this season while playing a key role on Edmonton's power play.

Ryan, 35, has primarily served as a bottom-six center and has two goals in 30 contests.

The Oilers have now lost five straight games and are 2-6-2 in their last 10 contests.
