The Edmonton Oilers are still alive in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, and superstar Connor McDavid is a big reason why.
The electric center scored the first goal of this Stanely Cup series on Saturday night during Game 4 in front of the Edmonton crowd.
He also managed to set a new record for assists during a single NHL postseason with 32, passing Oilers legend Wayne Gretzky’s 31 assists on the leaderboard.
Edmonton’s 8-1 victory over the Florida Panthers saved the Oilers from elimination, and getting to see more playoff hockey from McDavid is a win for us all. Seeing so much happen for him in a night is just icing on the cake.
While the Panthers still have very good odds of winning it all with the series headed back to Florida, McDavid and the Oilers can point to Saturday night as proof enough that they can still hang in there and make this competitive.
