The Edmonton Oilers continue their road trip with a chance to put a dent into the Bruins' record-setting season on Thursday night. The Oilers are playing well, with a 7-2-1 stretch in the last ten games. On Monday night, Connor McDavid continued his quest for the MVP by picking up two more goals in a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo. McDavid now has an NHL-leading 54 goals and 124 points, a new career high. McDavid has now scored 12 goals and added 15 assists during his current 11-game point streak.
“The finish was all-world,” Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft said of McDavid scoring the go-ahead goal on the fly by beating Craig Anderson through the legs 3:23 into the third period, and less than two minutes after the Sabres tied the game at 2.
“I saw someone that was competitive right from the puck right from the puck drop,” he added. “Connor’ ;s at a different evolutionary stage in his game right now, and I think everyone saw that here tonight.”
Connor McDavid netted his NHL-leading ninth game-winning goal of the season (tied) and 62nd of his career – breaking a tie with Wayne Gretzky (61) for the second most in @EdmontonOilers history. He now sits 10 shy of Glenn Anderson (72).#NHLStats: https://t.co/STqrKFl9th https://t.co/VheRx6naTc
