Despite Connor McDavid’s name dotting the scoresheet almost every time he hits the ice, there’s a sense his bar-raising performance isn’t getting the appropriate level of attention
The Edmonton Oilers head coach has a front-row seat – and behind-the-scenes access – to the daily process of greatness going to work.
The 26-year-old heads into the NHL all-star break with a league-leading 92 points in 50 games – 16 more than teammate Leon Draisaitl, a distant second in the overall scoring race. But despite McDavid’s name dotting the scoresheet almost every time the Newmarket, Ont., product hits the ice, there’s a sense his bar-raising performance isn’t getting the appropriate level of attention.
“Now he’s really putting defenders and goalies on their heels with his release, his shot, his confidence, the type of goals he’s scoring,” Tavares said. “That clearly has taken a step for him. Really impressive how he continues to get better.”
