SAN JOSE — Timo Meier, Noah Gregor and a few other Sharks players caught the highlights of the game Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid had against the Anaheim Ducks over the weekend.
McDavid had a hat trick Sunday, but one goal stood out above the rest.
After the Oilers broke out of their zone, McDavid took a pass from forward Zack Kassian in the neutral zone and streaked into the Ducks end. He easily bounced off attempted check from Jakob Silfverberg and went to one knee as he maintained possession of the puck.
McDavid then stick-handled in front of Ducks goalie John Gibson before he tucked it in short side to give the Oilers a three-goal lead at the 7:14 mark of the third period.
