The NHL’s three Game 7s on Saturday did not disappoint, as all the games were in doubt with the third period winding down. And while the Hurricanes and Lightning had strong performances, the goal of the day belonged to the best player in the world.
The Oilers were up one goal with four minutes left when Connor McDavid used an insane effort to score and seal the game away. Kings goalie Jonathon Quick seemed to deny McDavid twice, once on a breakaway and another on a wraparound, but McDavid’s third shot was enough to beat him.
McDavid had points in both of Edmonton’s goals on the night, giving him multiple points for six of the seven games in this series.
