Connor McDavid’s three-point effort leads Edmonton over Minnesota 4-2
EDMONTON — Connor McDavid is playing like he has his sights set on a second straight scoring title.
McDavid scored a pair of goals and added an assist as the Edmonton Oilers emerged with a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.
The Oilers captain has six goals and seven assists for 13 points in his last seven games and 84 points on the season, putting him four points back of league-leading Nikita Kucherov (88) and one behind Evgeni Malkin (85) in the race for the Art Ross Trophy, an honour McDavid took home last season for the first time in his career.
“I’m just looking to finish out the season strong with the team and individually as well,” McDavid said.
