Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid relaxes at luxurious Amangiri resort with wife Lauren Kyle and friends after NHL playoffs exit

The Edmonton Oilers had a terrible conclusion to their 2026 NHL season, falling to the Anaheim Ducks in the first round. With a quick playoff exit, captain Connor McDavid got a chance to take a breather and relax this offseason.

Lauren Kyle posted photos from the couple’s luxe vacation with friends in the area. The break comes after another big year on the ice for McDavid, but things didn’t go as Kalder thought they would with the team in the NHL contest and playoff situation, especially after Edmonton’s disappointing early postseason elimination shocked many hockey analysts and loyal fans alike.

Connor McDavid is currently taking a break at Amangiri, a luxury resort and recreational hotel that offers privacy and a desert setting with wellness experiences. The duo has made the resort its resort of choice after a gruelling NHL season.

Internet platforms are flooded with images of Connor McDavid with his dog Lauren Kyle and friends, capturing the harmony he has found after the season. It’s a place with private pools, canyon views and personalised pampering, among other upscale amenities.

From a performance perspective, McDavid's stats continued to soar. Despite the Oilers’ early exit, the legendary player, now captain of the Oilers, continued to be the league’s top scorer, further cementing his case as the NHL’s all-time leading scorer.

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman says top-level assessments are likely to be made within the Oilers’ ranks. Reports of McDavid leaving have been denied, but reports about making adjustments to the team and offloading star players have continued.

The holiday is not so much a hiatus as a respite before the painful signings and moves that will commence during training camp. Now, Edmonton have to focus on filling the holes that were revealed during the series with Anaheim, and will rarely weaken for the upcoming series of NHL match previews.

With a quick playoff exit, captain Connor McDavid got a chance to take a breather and relax this offseason while preparing mentally for another demanding NHL campaign ahead. While McDavid's tenure at the franchise doesn't seem threatened yet in the offseason, the possibility of him being dealt continues to rise and spread throughout the NHL.
