    McDavid scored twice and added two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5.

    Advice: McDavid became the first player ever to post back-to-back four-point efforts in the Stanley Cup Finals. He was held off the scoresheet in Game 1, but he's amassed three goals and eight helpers through five games against the Panthers. The superstar center is also just the third player in NHL history to collect 40-plus points in a single postseason -- he's at eight goals and 34 helpers. Wayne Gretzky did it three times and holds the record with 47 points in 1985, while Mario Lemieux did it once. McDavid may have a legitimate chance at Gretzky's record if the Oilers win Friday to force Game 7. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Sets NHL playoff record
    McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added three assists in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: With 32 assists this postseason, McDavid broke an NHL playoff record set by Wayne Gretzky in 1988. The 27-year-old McDavid has 11 multi-point efforts through 22 playoff contests, and it's just the second time he's had back-to-back multi-point games this postseason. The superstar center is at six goals, 38 points, 71 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-9 rating, and he'll look to keep his offense up in Game 5 on Tuesday in Florida.

  • Dishes pair of helpers
    McDavid logged two assists, five shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: McDavid has no goals in the Stanley Cup Finals, but he's earned three assists, 14 shots on net and four hits over his last three games. The 27-year-old is up to five goals, 29 helpers, 69 shots, 40 hits and a plus-7 rating through 21 playoff contests. He leads the league in postseason scoring, though it's tough to imagine him being awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy if the Oilers get swept with a loss in Game 4 on Saturday.

  • Records assist in loss
    McDavid registered his team-leading 27th assist of the postseason in Monday's 4-1 loss against Florida in Game 2.

    Advice: McDavid had the primary assist on Mattias Ekholm's first-period marker. McDavid added three shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 25:59 of ice time Monday. Florida has executed well when it comes to containing Edmonton's superstar and his supporting cast -- the Oilers have scored only once through two games. McDavid and the Oilers are also 0-for-7 on the power play in this series. The 27-year-old will attempt to help Edmonton avoid a three-game deficit when they host Florida for Game 3 on Thursday. McDavid leads the Oilers with 32 points (five goals) in 20 postseason contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:20 am
