“We needed to find a way and we did,” said the EdmontonOilers' Connor McDavid. “It took the full 20 minutes, but we found a way.” (Via SportsnetSpec)

Edmonton Oilers

McDavid exploded in the third period and overtime with a goal and two assists, not to mention hitting a crossbar on a dazzling solo rush. The Oilers scored at the 4:25 mark, and then James Neal fed McDavid for a goal with the goalie pulled and 98 ticks left on the clock. “That’s a really good team over there, they’re going to be in the playoffs,” said Draisaitl. “I’m proud of the guys. We stuck with it, we battled.”

“That is Connor at full speed. It was entertaining to watch,” marveled Oilers coach Dave Tippett. “It was a fun game, I’m sure, for the fans. The big guys scored. Ovechkin had two, Draisaitl had two and McDavid was really good.” McDavid was asked about the show put on by the only two 50-goal scorers from last season, and like Draisaitl he deferred to The Great Eight, whose body of work will take years even for McDavid to approach.
