Connor McDavid was on fire tonight helping the Edmonton Oilers to there first win this season in the Battle of Alberta. Connor McDavid had 2 goals and added an assist as The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Calgary Flames 5-2.
Much like the last game Connor McDavid started out strong and energized the whole Edmonton Oilers team. But unlike the last game, the fire continued to burn throughout the whole night. McDavid was at his best in the Second period coming down the right side and using the defence as a screen scored on the Calgary net minder Hiller.
Connor McDavid continued to press hard in the second and then in the third period set up a nice goal from behind the net by Yakupov. Then for the first time in his young NHL Career McDavid was given a minor penalty. The game ended with Calgary making some late game rushes but Cam Talbot and the Defence held them off and then late in the game on a power play McDavid scored another goal.
The Oilers and McDavid will be making there way to Vancouver for a game on Sunday against the Canucks. Perhaps the load has been lifted a bit with this win against Calgary.
