Connor McDavid Guarantees Better Performance from Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers entered their Stanley Cup Final rematch with the Florida Panthers looking like a team of destiny.

Even after a Game 1 overtime victory, the Oilers seemed well on their way to finally reaching the mountain top.

After losing Game 2 in double overtime and getting blown out in Game 3, the Oilers are suddenly behind 2-1 in the series and quickly losing steam.

Oilers captain Connor McDavid sees that things are starting to slip away from his team, but he knows there is more to offer.

Following the 6-1 loss in Game 3, McDavid vowed that more was coming from the Oilers.

I dont think our best has shown up all series long, McDavid said.

But its coming.

McDavid is leading the entire postseason with 31 points (6G-25A) in 19 games.

That kind of output should make McDavid free of criticism, but hes promising another level from him and his team.

During their run to the Stanley Cup Final last year, McDavid set an NHL record for most assists in a single playoff year with 34.

Reaching that many assists again might be tough for McDavid, but its not completely out of the question.

The Oilers arent dead in their series and McDavid is at his best when hes setting up his teammates.

Especially from behind in a series, which seems to be the Oilers specialty.

Through two of their first three series this year, and nine times since 2017, the Oilers have been behind at some point in a playoff series but managed to pull off a comeback.

The Oilers have a chance to add a 10th comeback series victory as they sit behind 2-1.

The odds arent in their favor, but McDavid isnt going to go down without a fight.

McDavid and the Oilers are going to keep pushing back and will look to emerge victorious as champions.
