McDavid Sets Up the Power-Play Goal as Oilers Win It in Overtime
Edmonton edges Philadelphia 3-2 after extra time, with its star forward held off the board at even strength.
Connor McDavid finished with one assist, a plus 1 rating and two shots on goal in the Oilers' 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers. All of his production came on the power play, where he had the one assist. At even strength he had no points, though he put two shots on net from four attempts.
He played 24:00 over 27 shifts, second among Edmonton skaters and first among the team's forwards. That is right in line with his season average of 23.7 minutes a game. He took no penalties and had one giveaway.
A single assist is a modest line by his standards this season, when he has 49 points in 20 games. He has not scored in this one, but he did contribute to a win that keeps the Oilers first in the Pacific Division at 13-3-3. Philadelphia, at 5-10-5, still leaves with a point.
