McDavid scored a power-play goal and dished two helpers in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid opened scoring in Tuesday's game on the power play by rifling the puck top shelf past Jordan Binnington.

EDGE Analysis
McDavid has accounted for 20 goals, 65 points, 131 shots on net, 26 hits and 29 PIM through 43 appearances this season.

McDavid was suspended for three games by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Monday for cross-checking Vancouver's Conor Garland on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid was ejected and received a five-minute major late in the third period of Saturday's loss to the Canucks. This is the 28-year-old superstar's second career suspension -- he won't be able to return until Jan. 27 in a home matchup against the Kraken. Leon Draisaitl will move up to the top line in the short term, while Kasperi Kapanen should draw back into the lineup in place of McDavid.

McDavid received a match penalty for cross-checking Conor Garland at the end of Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
A match penalty requires an automatic review for supplemental discipline by the league. McDavid was likely already lucky to avoid a fine or suspension earlier in the week when he elbowed Marcus Johansson of the Wild in Wednesday's contest, but he may not be as fortunate this time around. McDavid has racked up five goals and six assists over his last seven appearances after picking up a power-play helper Saturday. If he's suspended, Leon Draisaitl would likely take over on the top line while a number of other forwards would pick up a little extra ice time to cover the absence.
