OTTAWA, Ontario -- In five previous games against the Senators, Connor McDavid had yet to score a goal. He more than made up for it on Thursday night.
McDavid had two goals and two assists, and the Edmonton Oilers eliminated Ottawa from playoff contention with a 6-2 win on Thursday night.
"He just took the game over," Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said.
Oilers coach Todd McLellan admitted he's beginning to run out of accolades for McDavid.
"He's just a remarkable athlete," McLellan said. "Especially the way they responded after getting scored on, that was important.
