McDavid ties it, then scores in shootout to lift Edmonton over Islanders
EDMONTON — Connor McDavid was a one-man wrecking crew for the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.
McDavid tied the game late in the third period, and then added the shootout winner as the Oilers skated away with a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders.
“He just takes over the game when he wants to,” Oilers goalie Cam Talbot, who made 30 saves, said of McDavid. “He has that ability on any given night. In a one-goal game, that is who you want on the ice. You know he is going to do something special at some point. He never ceases to amaze.”
Edmonton’s captain finished with nine shots on net and over 27 minutes of ice time.
