The Edmonton Oilers are running out of words to describe Connor McDavid. The Pittsburgh Penguins may be running out of time to salvage their season.
McDavid scored twice to push his total to a career-best 46 goals as the Oilers embarrassed Sidney Crosby and the Penguins 7-2 on Thursday night in Pittsburgh.
McDavid beat Tristan Jarry from in close in the first period and then used some dazzling stickwork to deke past backup Casey DeSmith on a penalty shot late in the third period.
The 26-year-old added two assists to boost his point total to an NHL-best 109. Leon Draisaitl picked up 35th goal for the Oilers, who improved to 10-1-5 in their last 16 games.
