McDavid Sets Up a Goal, but Oilers Fall to Utah
Edmonton's five-game win streak ends at Rogers Place as the Mammoth leave with a 4-2 victory.
Connor McDavid finished with one assist in a 4-2 loss to Utah, a game that ended the Oilers' five-game winning streak.
His 25:52 of ice time was second among the 18 Edmonton skaters and first among the team's 12 forwards. He played 27 shifts. The assist came at even strength, where he put two shots on goal from six shot attempts. He was +1 and added three hits, but he also gave the puck away two times.
The night was not out of step with his season. He has 18 points in seven games, with four goals and 14 assists, and he averages 23.9 minutes. A single assist is a modest return by that standard. His shot count was close to his usual pace of about two a game (16 in seven).
On the power play he had no points, and no penalties were called on him. Edmonton now sits at 5-0-1, still second in the Western Conference, while Utah improves to 5-2-0 on the season.
