The Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames face off in game five of their best-of-seven series tonight at the Saddledome in Calgary. The Oilers lead the series 3-1 and are looking to close it out, which is in big thanks to their captain Connor McDavid, who has been on another level in the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs.
McDavid has 6 goals and 19 assists for 25 points in just 11 games this postseason, which is already higher than seven playoff point leaders since 2010. In the second round against Calgary alone, McDavid has 2 goals and 9 assists and is had at least two points in seven straight games.
If McDavid can extend his multi-point streak to eight, he will tie former Oiler Wayne Gretzky from 1983 for the longest streak in NHL playoff history. He has literally been on a level that maybe hasn't been reached by an NHL player before.
Will we see Connor McDavid's name alongside "The Great One" after tonight's game?
