Connor McDavid Out Months with Injury For Edmonton Oilers

“I think my own expectations are the ones I try to meet and those are probably higher than anyone else’s”. Jim Matheson of Edmonton Journal reported that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also got injured (shoulder) in his rookie year in 2011-2012, missing 20 games in the process.

“It adds a whole new dimension to our top six”, said Hall. “We know what he brings”. What’s equally as noteworthy is that they arrived in Edmonton with just 27 goals for.

Former Blue Jacket Marko Dano, recalled from the minors on Monday, scored his first goal of the season for the Blackhawks. The Penguins are 8-4 and on a five-game win streak. Draisaitl has seven points in three games since being called up from Bakersfield.

Even though, Pittsburgh’s preseason was a good preview of what we have been witnessing the players are very well aware of how hard it is to score in the league and how strong most of the opponents are too.

“Those are players you grow up watching, and now I get a chance to play against them, to defend against them, so I am pretty excited. It’s a great opportunity for me, another challenge”, Davidson continued.

Racing down the left wing toward the Flyers’ goal late in the second period, with defenders Brandon Manning and Michael Del Zotto beside him, McDavid appeared to lose the edge on his skate.

“We can’t rely on one line, so we chose to play Leon in his home position, which is centre ice”, said head coach Todd McLellan.

“You’ve got to find a way to ultimately figure it out and produce”, Crosby said. Talbot surrendered a last second goal to the Calgary Flames in a 5-4 loss. Crosby is showing signs of once again getting comfortable in the offensive end, rebounding from a dismal start to collect one goal and two assists in his last three games and faces an Edmonton club against which he has recorded 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in eight career encounters. “I hope they break down a little bit defensively and that they don’t start scoring”.
