Connor McDavid is being praised for his best game of the season
Well folks, Connor McDavid is back and better than ever, scoring 3 points last night against the Vancouver Canucks.
According to the Edmonton Journal, His best game of the young season. Started well and got better as the night went along. Made a fine play to get the puck into the danger area on the play that was ultimately finished by Draisaitl for the 1-0. Brilliant shift and pass to RNH for a powerplay shot that really should have scored.
Scored a much-needed powerplay goal himself to provide Edmonton some breathing room with a 5-2 lead, then set up Kulak for the 6-2 with a good cross-ice pass just 52 seconds later. Drew a pair of penalties. His only blemish was a subpar 4/13=31% on the dot.
Connor McDavid was the centre of attention in the NHL last week after being out with an injury sustained during the Oilers 6-1 loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
With that being said, during the Las Vegas Golden Knights game, Connor McDavid made his highly anticipated return to the ice, but had a below average performance, struggling to get into the flow of the game.
Last night presented a whole different narrative. Connor McDavid was an absolute beast, flying all over the ice, making dynamic plays and creating scoring chances.
His performance allowed the Oilers to climb back to a 7-7-1 record, and the team will look to keep their momentum going when they take on a struggling New York Islanders team on Tuesday.
I think it's safe to say that Connor McDavid is back, and he has his eyes set on getting the Oilers back into the playoff picture.
