Connor McDavid celebrates his game-winning goals as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on October 2, 2019.Leon Draisaitl doesn’t look satisfied with the career-high 50 goals and 105 points he amassed last season.
Connor McDavid broke a 2-2 deadlock with five-and-a-half minutes to play, splitting the defence before beating Jacob Markstrom to the blocker side on a strong solo effort.“We made it easy on each other,” Draisaitl said. “We played simple, we played hard, and we did what we had to do to beat this team.”“Leon was a horse, as he always is,” McDavid said. “Kass brought a lot of energy tonight, like he does as well.
“There were a couple of minutes that we’d like to have back,” Pearson said. “That’s the way it goes, those minutes can cost you the game.”The Oilers started the scoring six minutes into the first period when Kassian won a battle in the crease and fed the puck out to Draisaitl, who beat Markstrom. Vancouver tied the game 12 minutes into the second period, though, shortly after a power play expired as a long-range bomb by Edler seemed to hit something in front and get past Smith.
