"McDavid put together an incredible night in front of family and friends, scoring two goals and adding an assist in the Edmonton Oilers' 6-3 shellacking of the Maple Leafs. Edmonton's captain opened the scoring just over three minutes into the opening frame thanks to his absolute blazing speed. McDavid received the puck in the neutral zone, put on the afterburners, and beat Dennis Hildeby in tight, all alone."
"McDavid scored two goals on the night, but he actually only shot one puck behind Hildeby. It was a tough scene for Troy Stecher halfway through the second period, when McDavid came flying into the o-zone with speed, passed it out front, and next thing you know, Stecher buries it into his own net. Stecher apologized immediately to Dennis Hildeby after this one."
Connor McDavid dominated in Toronto, scoring two goals and adding an assist as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3. McDavid opened the scoring early after a neutral-zone rush that beat Dennis Hildeby, exposing coverage breakdowns by Morgan Rielly. McDavid's speed also forced a turnover that led to Troy Stecher's own goal in the second period; Stecher immediately apologized to Hildeby. Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Easton Cowan scored for the Leafs. Tristan Jarry made his Oilers debut and was solid, and every Oiler recorded a shot on Hildeby before he was pulled after the sixth goal.
