The Oilers desperately needed a win, and McDavid's presence undoubtedly provided a significant boost.

Before the game, McDavid's status was initially uncertain, leaving fans and the media in suspense. An Edmonton Oilers reporter, eager to know if McDavid would be on the ice, posed a somewhat humorous question to Leon Draisaitl. The reporter even acknowledged the potential folly of his query.

McDavid's return was met with enthusiasm and relief from fans, and his performance in the Heritage Classic undoubtedly contributed to the Oilers' much-needed victory. The team can now look forward to a brighter future with their star player back in action.
