Thanks to a fun quirk in the schedule — or someone in the NHL office who enjoys a good party — Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid spent his birthday Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.
His 21st birthday.
Vegas, baby.
“I can’t really remember the last time I played on my birthday,” McDavid told the Oilers’ official website before the game.
