Connor McDavid is looking a little trimmer these days.

The Edmonton Oilers captain is down at least 5 lbs, and maybe as many as 10, following a recent two-week battle with the flu, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

McDavid typically clocks in at 6-foot-1 and 192 lbs, according to the team's official site.

"He's been sick for a week to 10 days now," Oilers coach Todd McLellan told Dreger. "He's starting to feel better, but we'll monitor his practice time."

While the illness may have McDavid feeling under the weather while away from the rink, it's seemingly had little impact on his on-ice performance, as the superstar forward has pocketed nine points in his past five outings.

McDavid is currently running a three-game point streak, in which he has collected a goal and five assists. He'll have the chance to add to that total Friday when the Oilers take on the Buffalo Sabres.
