Oilers erase early deficit, come back to beat Flames 4-3 in shootout
EDMONTON — Connor McDavid used both his actions and his words to express his displeasure with an overtime call on Thursday.
McDavid scored the shootout winner as the Edmonton Oilers overcame a bad start to record a 4-3 victory against the Calgary Flames.
The shootout tally came after McDavid thought he had set up the winner on a goal by Ryan Strome in overtime, only to have it called back after he was charged with goaltender interference for clipping the stick of Flames goalie David Rittich on his way through the crease.
Upset that the goal was called off, McDavid was seen indicating that maybe they should check upstairs to see if his shootout winner was valid as well.
