When Connor McDavid takes the ice in the Edmonton Oilers season opener Oct. 12, hell become the youngest captain in NHL history at 19 years, 273 days old.McDavid was captain of his junior team in Erie and of Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey, so it was no surprise that the talented player got the C for the Oilers.Oilers coach Todd McLellan called McDavid mature beyond his years and an ambassador of the game like Sidney Crosby, a fellow No. 1 pick who also became captain at a young age.McDavid is only 45 games into his NHL career and his history as Oilers captain is yet to be written. Heres a look at how the previous five youngest captains in NHL history fared with that responsibility:VINCENT LECAVALIERSelected captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2000 at 19 years, 315 days old, the 1998 No. 1 pick lasted only a season and change before he clashed with coach John Tortorella and was stripped of the captaincy, which was given to veteran Dave Andreychuk. Lecavalier blossomed into a star and was a point-a-game player and alternate captain when the Lightning won the Stanley Cup in 2004.Lecavalier was the face of the franchise in Hockey Bay and served as captain again from 2008-2013 before he was bought out of his contract.GABRIEL LANDESKOGOne of the youngest players to lace up his skates in the top Swedish mens league, Landeskog was captain of the Ontario Hockey Leagues Kitchener Rangers and got the C for the Colorado Avalanche after his rookie year. The 2012-13 lockout forced Landeskog to wait several months to start on the job at 20 years, 57 days old.Landeskog helped Colorado make the playoffs in 2013-14 and the thoughtful Swede quietly remains one of the most respected players in the league.SIDNEY CROSBYCrosby was the No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft of the Pittsburgh Penguins and became a franchise-changing superstar. He had immediate impact and proved to be among the best in the world. Crosby was 20 years, 59 days old at the start of his third NHL season when he first served as captain and led Pittsburgh to the Cup Final several months later.Crosby lifted the Cup as a 21-year-old in 2009 and again as a 28-year-old in June.JONATHAN TOEWSThe Chicago Blackhawks followed the Crosby model by making Toews captain before the 2008-09 season. He was 20 years, 164 days old in his first game with that job. He also won the Cup young, lifting it in 2010 and then again in 2013 and 2015 as the most accomplished captain of the salary-cap era.Toews earned the moniker Captain Serious and along with Crosby is a gold standard for young captains.STEVE YZERMANBefore McDavid, Landeskog, Crosby and Toews were born, the Detroit Red Wings made Yzerman captain at 21 years, 153 days old back in 1986. Yzerman had on-ice success and adjusted his game under legendary coach Scotty Bowman to the point that he was considered one of the most trusted two-way centers around and a top leader.The Red Wings won the Cup in 1997, 1998 and 2002 with Yzerman leading the way.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Panthers quarterback Cam Newton returned to practice Wednesday, although it remains unclear if the leagues MVP will play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.Newton took reps with the first-team offense after missing Monday nights game against Tampa Bay with a concussion.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Newton remains in the leagues concussion protocol and its too early to know his status for this weeks game at the Superdome.He looked good and threw the ball pretty doggone well, Rivera said. He was involved in the plays that we had scripted for him and handled those very well.Rivera said now the team is waiting with bated breath to find out how Newton responds on Thursday when he reports to work following his first day of practice in nearly two weeks.Its all part of the concussion protocol, Rivera said.Newton, who usually talks publicly on Wednesdays, was not available after practice.Wearing a helmet and his red No. 1 practice jersey, Newton threw passes and joked with teammates in the huddle before taking snaps during the first 20 minutes of action that were open to the media. Newton threw the ball around and jogged during the half-speed portion of practice.Carolina (1-4) is marred in a three-game losing streak.But teammates said Newtons return -- and the energy he brings with him to work -- gave everyone a lift.Having the MVP back in your offense is a big deal, All-Pro center Ryan Kalil said. Its tough especially the way that hes not been around here with the head injury. So anytime someone like that is able to come back you are very excited.Added tight end Greg Olsen: I think it was a good step for him. Its good to see him back and feeling good. Obviously we know how important he is to this team.Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart, who has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, also was back at practice on a limited basis. Like Newton, its still too early in the week to know if he will play this week.Left tackle Michael Oher (concussion), cornerback James Bradberry (toe) and defensive tackle Vernon Butler (ankle) remainned out of practice.dddddddddddd Defensive tackle Paul Soliai missed practice and underwent an x-ray on his foot.Newton has struggled in his four starts, completing just 57.9 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and five interceptions. His quarterback rating of 80.2 ranks 32nd in the league.However, he has played well in the past against the Saints.Last season Newton completed 48 of 72 passes for 646 yards and seven touchdowns with only one interception in two wins against New Orleans. He threw five touchdowns in a 41-38 win at the Superdome in 2015.Were not preparing for anybody but Cam, Saints said Kenny Vaccaro said Wednesday. When you get a concussion and you practice, how many times are you out the next day? Never. Its not like its a lingering issue where its an ankle where they tried to let him practice. If youre cleared from a concussion, youre cleared.Vaccarro said he doesnt anticipate Newton will be more tentative if he plays Sunday.I think hes such a competitor that its not going to change much, Vaccaro said. ... Hes not going to be sitting there like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady in the pocket; I dont believe that. Hell still be trying to score touchdowns just like he always does.Newton has only missed three starts during his six-year NFL career.He was knocked out of the fourth quarter of Carolinas Week 4 loss to the Atlanta Falcons when he slowed down on a 2-point conversion run and was hit near the goal line by linebacker Deion Jones.Rivera said Newton told him he never saw Jones coming from the outside until it was too late.If Newton is unable to play Sunday, the Panthers will again turn to Derek Anderson. The 33-year-old Anderson started against the Buccaneers and had three turnovers in a 17-14 loss, including a costly turnover on a first-and-2 at the Bucs 2-yard line in the fourth quarter.---Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
