McDavid Quietly Helps Oilers Edge Toronto
A one-assist night in a 1-0 road win keeps Edmonton rolling, with Philadelphia and another back-to-back next.
Connor McDavid did not score in Edmonton's 1-0 win at Toronto, but he left a mark on the game. He picked up one assist, finished plus 1 and played 22:47, the most among Oilers forwards and third among all 18 Edmonton skaters.
He put three shots on goal: two at even strength and one on the power play. He also had a block and a takeaway, along with one giveaway. He took no penalties and recorded no hits.
All of his production came at even strength. His power-play time produced a shot, but no points.
The point is a modest one by his standards. He has 11 goals and 39 assists through 21 games, and his season average ice time is 23.7 minutes, so this workload was close to his norm. Edmonton moves to 15-3-3 and has won four straight, with Philadelphia up next.
