"It wasn't pretty, it wasn't as pretty as it was tonight when he was out, but we still found ways. Guys still found ways to contribute without a key player.
"You never know what a player's going to bring after a stretch of not playing," Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Monday after the loss. "Usually it's very hard for a player to find their game, but I don't think he had any problems. McDavid wheeled out of the corner and fired a shot that went in off Hyman just 2:02 into the game as he battled with Stars defenceman Ryan Suter for position in front for his NHL-leading 13th goal of the playoffs.
