McDavid Shines in Recent Games

After an impressive five-point performance on Sunday, totalling nine points in two games, Connor McDavid shared his thoughts on the Oilers' recent games. He mentioned that good bounces and improved plays from everyone contributed to their success.

Oilers' Playoff Hopes and Progress

When asked about making the playoffs, McDavid expressed optimism, saying not to rule the Oilers out. Despite the challenges, he noted that they are not far off from last year's standings after 20 games, and they are not out of the running.

In the past 48 hours, McDavid matched his total points for October, showing a resurgence in the team's performance. With a total of 13 goals in the last two games, the Oilers seem to be finding their winning ways.

Team Effort in Scoring

The offensive surge goes beyond McDavid, with Evander Kane and Zach Hyman making significant contributions. Kane scored seven goals in as many games, while Hyman showcased eight goals in the last nine games. On the defensive side, Evan Bouchard is on a six-game point streak, and goaltender Stuart Skinner is gaining confidence with recent wins.

Acknowledging the ground to cover in the Western Conference, the Oilers face a tough test against the Vegas Golden Knights. A win in this game could signal the Oilers' comeback.
