NHL Makes Historic Connor McDavid Announcement Amid Stanley Cup Final originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers didn’t get the result they wanted in Game 5, falling 5–2 to the Florida Panthers and slipping to the brink of elimination in the Stanley Cup Final.

Connor McDavid scored his first goal of this Stanley Cup Final in Game 5, only after he and the Edmonton Oilers fell behind 3-0 on the way to getting pushed to the brink by the defending champion Florida Panthers.

While Draisaitl has ended the Oilers’ two victories in the series with overtime goals that gave him an NHL record with four in a single tournament, McDavid has beaten Sergei Bobrovsky once and has just four even-strength points in five games, one since Game 2.
