Connor McDavid Ends Goal Drought With Overtime Winner
6 months agoEdmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid did it all for the team in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime victory against St. Louis, producing two assists and the game-winning goal. With the Oilers in an early 2-0 hole, McDavid helped to set up Zach Hyman for a pair of goals, and he completed the comeback with the game-winner 4:34 into the extra frame. The strike ended a 10-game goal drought for McDavid. He's been out of luck in front of the net, but McDavid has still remained very productive, as Wednesday marked his sixth consecutive multi-assist outing. It's McDavid's best-ever multi-assist streak in the league, and only Wayne Gretzky has had a longer such stretch in league history, with an eight-game streak in 1984-85. The Oilers captain boasts 74 total helpers for the campaign and has added 22 goals in 55 games.
