CONNOR McDAVID

The now- Edmonton Oilers captain had two shots in his debut last fall against the St. Louis Blues, but failed to record a point. The No. 1 pick in the 2015 NHL draft logged 18:07 in his first game throughout 22 shifts and had a minus- one rating. A shoulder injury sidelined McDavid for a large portion of his inaugural season, but he finished with 16 goals and 48 points in 45 games. When McDavid heard about Matthews’ outburst on Wednesday night he said, “I think in my first game I touched the puck four times, so it was a little bit of a different night for us on our opening nights ... I don’t know what happened, he just seemed to explode, I guess.”
