Oilers Skill Comp Accuracy Shooting Winner Surprisingly Wasn't Connor McDavid
The Edmonton Oilers have returned from a relaxing holiday vacation, along with a victory against the Calgary Flames in the Battle of Alberta. And to top it all off, they held the annual skills competition. Unfortunately, it wasn't televised, and the Oilers forced some viewers to subscribe to a news channel in order to see it. But don't worry-we've got you covered!
We have shared some footage of specific competitions, including McDavid's speed challenge with his puppy, but sadly for this next category we will be covering (accuracy shooting), there was no footage publicly posted.
Four Oilers took place in the accuracy competition, four targets were set up in each corner of the hockey net and when the timer started, players had to try to knock out all four targets while being timed.
And surprisingly McDavid wasn't #1, but a new face was, check out the stats below:
Accuracy Shooting:
1. RNH - 4/4, 9.31s
2. C. McDavid - 4/5, 9.81s
3. D. Ryan - 4/6, 14.56s
4. W. Foegele - 4/8, 18.28s
It's unfortunate
Leon Draisaitl is injured and was unable to participate in the skills competition as he would've likely stole the show in the accuracy comp.
