Expect Connor McDavid to have his hands all over Game 7

The best two words in sports – game seven. The Florida Panthers host the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night in a winner take all to hoist the Stanley Cup. After a historically quiet Game 6, get ready for Oilers superstar Connor McDavid to have his fingerprints all over the outcome.

McDavid coming off an in-effective Game 6, although it didn’t matter as the Oilers trounced the Panthers 5-1. While all the momentum may be on the Oilers side, it’s a one game winner-take-all and frankly, anything can happen.

The Oilers are expected to lean on McDavid a ton in Game 7 and it’s likely his ice time flirts with the 25-30 minute market. So far throughout the series he’s played 18:58, 24:37, 17:27, 25:14, 25:59 and 25:19 respectfully.

On today’s episode of Daily Faceoff Live, Frank Seravalli spoke about what to expect from McDavid as him and Tyler Yaremchuk teed up Game 7:

Frank Seravalli: The other factor when mentioning McDavid is, Game 6 was the first time in Connor McDavid’s career, it’s the most unbelievable stat going, that he didn’t have a shot on goal or a point and the Oilers won. All three of those things happened.

It’s happened seven times before in his eight-year career, they’ve never won. So, that’s the first time ever, so if you’re thinking Connor McDavid isn’t going to have his fingerprints on Game 7, I would say, especially after a quiet Game 6, you can almost write it right now.
