VIDEO: He’s back in his element. This is how McDavid took on the entire opposing defense and goalie

This year’s NHL season in Edmonton hasn’t gone as expected. The main star Connor McDavid was injured at first and when he came back, he didn’t shine on the ice like he usually does. But now the best hockey player in the world has started again and against Minnesota he scored another beautiful goal from his collection.

No one doubts that Connor McDavid is currently the best hockey player in the world. In the last 7 seasons he has always scored over 100 points, and in the last one it was even 173 points.

But Edmonton stands and falls on him and Leon Draisaitl alone. The rest of the roster isn’t as good and that’s why McDavid hasn’t come close to a Stanley Cup yet.

In recent years, we’ve been used to McDavid and Draisaitl dominating the scoring for the entire league, especially with the Canadian phantom being a huge rebounder.

Since the start of this season, however, his scoring has stuttered. And the Oilers have suffered tremendously because of it. He missed five games due to injury, and in the remaining 16 games he scored just six goals and added just 10 assists. Extremely low numbers for him.

But after that, McDavid was on a roll. He scored 4 points against Washington and 5 points against Anaheim. In his last four games, he’s scored 9 points. He jumped to the 8th place in the NHL scoring, 10 points short of the first place he had reserved for the last few years (44 Kucherov).

And in the last game against Minnesota he scored another goal from his collection. Not many people in the world have the talent to make a goal that would make the entire defense and the goalie laugh.

McDavid, in his typical style, went around both defenders and the goalie and knocked the puck into the empty net. This is the Canadian we’ve been watching for the last few years.

And as we said, with McDavid’s performance, all of Edmonton is falling and rising. The Oilers have won six games in a row thanks to the phantom hockey player’s return to form. Before that, they could only win 10 games out of 26.
