McDavid Crafts the Winning Touch in San Jose
A helper and busy ice-time turned into one assist in Edmonton’s 3-1 road victory.
Connor McDavid set the tone with a quiet-but-productive night. He finished with one assist on an even-strength goal and helped Edmonton to a 3-1 win. He logged 24:04 of ice time — second on the team among skaters and the leader among forwards — and took 27 shifts.
McDavid was active at even strength (all his scoring came there), with three shots on goal and one additional shot on the power play for four shots on goal total. He added two hits, no giveaways and no takeaways, and came out plus-one on the scoresheet. Compared with his season average ice time of 23.9 minutes, this outing was right in line with his typical usage. The assist was his only point tonight, but his puck presence and shot attempts kept Edmonton’s attack moving in a controlled, winning performance on the road.
