McDavid was held scoreless with two shots and a minus-1 rating in his NHL debut Thursday against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The long awaited debut for McDavid was a disappointing one. He struggled mightily in the face-off dot, finishing three for 10. McDavid showcased his speed in the third period, blowing past Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester for a scoring chance, but was denied by Brian Elliott. He played 18:07 and saw 1:48 on the man advantage, which is encouraging. The Oilers are still a very young team and will continue to learn under new coach Todd McLellan, so McDavid owners will have to be patient.
