What did he do? McDavid’s doing his magic again. Watch how he incredibly outplayed the defense and scored against Nashville

Star Connor McDavid made magic in the game against Nashville! He only scored one goal, but it was worth it. The famous Canadian helped Edmonton to its first win of the season, scoring one goal and recording an assist.

Nashville is not experiencing an ideal start to the new season. The Predators lost to Tampa Bay 3:5. After that, they won against Seattle 3:0, but then they lost to Boston 2:3, and the last time they lost to Edmonton.

It should be noted that the fate of this game was practically decided after the first period, when the Oilers took a four-goal lead.

First, Leon Draisaitl scored on a power play at 8:11, followed by Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Connor McDavid put the finishing touch on the first period.

He, with the help of Evander Kane and German Draisaitl, got in front of the Nashville blue line, where he handled all the defenders in an incredible way and then added Edmonton’s fourth goal.

The second period saw three goals – two by the Oilers, one by Nashville. McDavid scored another goal in addition to the one mentioned above, assisting on a power play goal by Draisaitl at 37:53.

Thomas Novak scored for the Predators at the beginning of the second period, but the final score was only a cosmetic adjustment. Warren Foegele closed out the scoring.

Edmonton finally won after two games in the new season. In the opening game, the Oilers took a big beating from Vancouver (1:8), and lost the next game (3:4).

As far as McDavid is concerned, the clearly most productive player of last season has five points (2+3).
