Connor McDavid Player Props: O/U 0.5 Goals
Monday night’s game was the first time McDavid did not record a point since an April 9 game against the Boston Bruins (yes, he is absurd). He followed up that performance by scoring a goal in four straight games, including scoring 10 points in that span.
Bottom line: the Kings may be in trouble.
McDavid showed flashes of his brilliance in Game 1, but it will likely be a whole different animal when he takes the ice on Wednesday with a chance to settle the score. Look for the Oilers to come out of Edmonton with a win, with the McDavid goal-scorer prop being an enticing add-on.
The Oilers were left wondering what had just happened after squandering Game 1 in the waning moments. But expect them to follow McDavid’s lead and come out firing in Game 2.
