Connor McDavid is such a star and such a remarkable scoring threat that, on Saturday afternoon at the Garden, the Rangers were constantly wary about him while they had the puck at the other end of the ice.
“You really don’t want to make 'hope’ plays when he’s out there because that’s where his transition game starts and that’s where the trouble begins,” David Quinn said after his team lost to the Oilers, 2-1. McDavid scored the winning goal and assisted on the other, meaning that he has had a point in each of the five goals his team has scored this season.
