Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid showed his true class as he found his way to meet Alex Ovechkin's children after the Oilers lost to the Capitals 7-3.
He posed for a picture with both of Ovechkin's sons and Alex is wife Nastya posted the great photo on Instagram. Both boys showed their joy with big smiles as they stood beside one of the best players on the planet after their father scored a hat trick to close the gap to 13 for Wayne Gretzky's all time scoring record.
McDavid continues to show great sense of community
Since 2015, McDavid has grown and shown his sense of community especially with kids as he has understood that they are the future fans of the game and willing to grow the game over time.
Whether it's spending time with Colby's kids like he did back in 2023 or developing a bond with the late Ben Stelter who became the face of the playoff run a few years ago and was deeply involved with the Oilers.
Oilers struggling after 4 Nations break
Meanwhile, the Oilers are finding themselves suddenly in trouble as the team has lost their last two games against the Washington Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers and have looked brutal defensively and have given up 13 goals.
The trade deadline is less than two weeks away and general managers stand Bowman is preparing his ideas on potentially upgrading his team which may require a new goaltender and potential defenseman now that this issue has been exposed.
Time will tell on how the Oilers will handle this situation whether this is a blip and a one off or a chronic problem that may grow and hurt their chances for winning the Pacific division.
The team will have to regroup quickly as their attention will now focus to South Florida as their next two games will be against the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers, both teams who are not easy to play against.
