Yes, the Edmonton Oilers suffered a complete melt down with a minute left in the third period, but as a fan, it was still nice to see Connor McDavid back in the lineup.
The Edmonton Oilers media has been known to one of the more obnoxious crews in the league, often trying to get under the skin of players with their confrontational style of questioning.
But on this particular occasion, Connor McDavid was completely unfazed.
When speaking to the media after practice, McDavid said that if he wasn't confident in his return, he wouldn't be coming back early. He's back and he'll be able to dominate again.
According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, McDavid is returning not far from making personal history himself.
He's only 8 points away from reaching 1000 career points, and knowing McDavid, he could reach that total in two games. If he has a Sam Gagner type night, it could even be just one!
The Edmonton Oilers will be looking for a major rebound over the weekend when they take on a red hot Vancouver Canucks team.
The Edmonton oilers will be coming into that divisional matchup with a chip on their shoulder, as the sting from their previous loss to the golden Knights will surely be something they don't want to repeat.
The Oilers will also be also be trying to prove a point - that the best team out of the two went on to the western conference finals last season.
