Wayne Gretzky commented on Connor McDavid’s new $25 million deal, highlighting the pressure on the Oilers as the superstar center led the team’s push for success.

McDavid scored twice on netminder Frederik Andersen in Edmonton’s 4-3 overtime victory over the Carolina Hurricanes at Lenovo Center on Saturday (Nov. 15). He lit the lamp in both the first and third periods, giving him his second two-goal game in less than a week.

Frustration is starting to seep in with the Edmonton Oilers, and captain Connor McDavid is trying to get the team back on track.

Connor McDavid didn’t mince words when delivering a bold statement to his teammates on the Edmonton Oilers amid a dramatic NHL season.

EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid scored twice in the third period, and the Edmonton Oilers rallied late for a 5-4 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Rogers Place on Monday.

The Blue Jackets are playing around .500 hockey, but with how good the Eastern Conference is, and how tough the Metropolitan Division can be, they are sitting near the bottom of the East. Columbus is looking to continue on the winning track after pulling out a shootout win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night.

The Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes have been two of the best teams in the NHL throughout most of this season, making Saturday night’s game a must-watch affair.
