McDavid notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid had the primary assist on the game-tying and game-winning goals as the Oilers came back from deficits of 2-0 and 3-2. This was McDavid's first multi-point effort of the season, and he's produced four assists, 10 shots on net, five hits and a minus-3 rating over four contests. The superstar's slow start shouldn't be too much of a concern, as his talent will win out over time.

McDavid registered a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
It took McDavid until the sixth period of the season to produce a point, which is an unusually quiet stretch for a player of his caliber. He's added three shots on net, two hits and a minus-3 rating over two appearances this season. While he's had a slow start to the year, the 27-year-old superstar has earned every benefit of the doubt that he'll be back to his high-scoring ways in short order.

Although McDavid played through an injury during at least part of the postseason, he won't require surgery and will be good for training camp, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid had an incredible eight goals and 42 points in 25 playoff contests this year. His 34 assists is a new record, topping Wayne Gretzky's single postseason high of 31 from 1987-88, and the 27-year-old McDavid was also the first player to collect at least 40 points in a playoff run since Gretzky in 1992-93. Those accomplishments earned McDavid the Conn Smythe Trophy despite Edmonton finishing short of the championship.

McDavid scored twice and added two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid became the first player ever to post back-to-back four-point efforts in the Stanley Cup Finals. He was held off the scoresheet in Game 1, but he's amassed three goals and eight helpers through five games against the Panthers. The superstar center is also just the third player in NHL history to collect 40-plus points in a single postseason -- he's at eight goals and 34 helpers. Wayne Gretzky did it three times and holds the record with 47 points in 1985, while Mario Lemieux did it once. McDavid may have a legitimate chance at Gretzky's record if the Oilers win Friday to force Game 7.

EDGE Analysis
Both of McDavid's points came on the power play in the first period.

He'll get his first taste of Stanley Cup Finals action when the puck drops in Florida for Game 1 on Saturday.
