Connor McDavid scores on breakaway in overtime to give Edmonton Oilers 2-1 pre-season win over Vancouver Canucks
Connor McDavid was having a quiet game by his standards Wednesday night, but the Edmonton Oilers captain was a factor when it mattered the most.
Defenceman Evan Bouchard sent the puck up ice to McDavid, who made no mistake on the breakaway with a backhand goal just 55 seconds into overtime. “I thought we did a lot of really good things defensively. After two periods, we had given up 10 shots. Gave up a little bit more in the third. I didn’t love the fact that we were in the box as much as we were, but the penalty kill dug in.”Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner made 21 saves for the win.
