Can McDavid win playoff MVP if the Oilers don't win the Cup?

SUNRISE, Fla. -- For many NHL players, a four-point performance in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final that also shattered a Wayne Gretzky playoff record would be a career achievement.

For Connor McDavid, it was Saturday.

Edmonton Oilers winger Zach Hyman has witnessed plenty of McDavid magic since becoming his teammate three seasons ago -- McDavid had a hand on the majority of Hyman's 117 goals with the Oilers. But he was still in awe of McDavid's accomplishment in Game 4: setting a new NHL record for assists in a single postseason (32), passing Gretzky's 1988 record, while moving into fifth place for most points (38) in a single postseason.
