EDGE Analysis
McDavid's playoff-opening point streak ended at seven games after he was held off the scoresheet in Sunday's Game 3 loss.

McDavid scored a goal on five shots, added three assists, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid's goal in the third period forced overtime, and he had a helper on the other three goals the Oilers scored in a back-and-forth game. The 27-year-old's exceptional playmaking has continued into the playoffs -- he has two goals and 15 assists through seven postseason appearances. McDavid has added 19 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating. He could be poised for even stronger offense than usual if head coach Kris Knoblauch keeps McDavid and Leon Draisaitl together moving forward.

EDGE Analysis
McDavid set up Leon Draisaitl's game-tying power-play goal midway through the second period before adding another helper on Draisaitl's go-ahead tally just a few minutes later.

McDavid logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Kings in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid continues to be a big playmaker for the Oilers, with a goal and nine helpers through four playoff contests.

McDavid scored a goal on five shots, added two assists and logged two hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
All three of McDavid's points came on the power play -- he's earned seven of his nine points this postseason with the man advantage. The all-world center has added nine shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating. McDavid's still a little assist-heavy (one goal, eight helpers), but the Oilers won't care how he gets his offense as long as it continues to show up in bulk quantities.

McDavid recorded a power-play assist, three hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid didn't have much of an encore after a five-assist performance in Game 1. He was limited to a secondary helper on Zach Hyman's tally midway through the second period, as the Kings' defense did a better job of limiting his chances. The 27-year-old has four shots on net and six hits over two playoff contests, and he should continue to put pressure on the Kings even if it only leads to chances for his teammates.

McDavid racked up five assists, including three on the power play, in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
It's a fitting start to the playoffs in the year that McDavid recorded a 100-assist campaign. He's proven he can still be dominant without scoring a goal, though he'll likely get plenty of looks on his own going forward. McDavid has earned 11 points over his last five contests, with four multi-point efforts in that span.

McDavid will sit out for rest Thursday versus the Oilers, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.
EDGE Analysis

McDavid scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, went plus-3 and added two hits in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid opened the scoring in the first minute, but it took until the Oilers' ninth goal for him to finally get his 100th assist of the campaign. He's the first player to achieve that milestone since 1990-91, narrowly beating Nikita Kucherov (99 helpers) to the mark. McDavid has added 32 goals, 261 shots on net, 116 hits and a plus-37 rating in another excellent campaign, which is all the more impressive given his slow start.

McDavid (lower body) will be in action versus the Sharks on Monday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid will return from a three-game absence due to his lower-body issue. The world-class center has registered a multi-point effort in nine of his last 11 contests, racking up a combined six goals and 18 assists over that stretch. If the Oilers can't catch the Canucks for the top spot in the Pacific, the team could decide to rest McDavid for one or both of the upcoming back-to-back contests against the Coyotes on Wednesday or the Avalanche on Thursday.
