Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers advanced to the second round of the NHL playoffs last night with a 2-0 Game 7 win over the Los Angeles Kings at home.
McDavid, who led the league with 123 points (44 goals, 79 assists), assisted on the first goal of the game and then sealed things late in the third period with a ridiculous goal that showed why he’s the best player in the entire league.
The 25-year-old center simply refused to quit on this play and put his team and his city on his back and lifted them into the next round with a goal that will live forever on his highlight reel.
