EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid is putting on a masterclass of postseason performance, and it's pushing the Edmonton Oilers to greater heights.
Take, for example, McDavid's play in Game 2 of Edmonton's second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Calgary Flames. The Oilers were trailing 3-1 after a disallowed goal and McDavid had just set up a subsequent goal for Leon Draisaitl that was also called back.
Frustrating? Not for McDavid. Shortly thereafter, Edmonton's captain took control and dangled through Calgary's defense to score against Jacob Markstrom.
