Connor McDavid Answers 'Pretty Heavy Question' on Stanley Cup Pressure originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The stakes are sky-high for the Edmonton Oilers heading into Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Down 3–2 to the defending champion Florida Panthers, they’re facing elimination on the road for the second year in a row.

Coach Kris Knoblauch thinks it has been a bit of an unfortunate final for Connor McDavid given the amount of scoring chances that just haven’t gone in.

This year, McDavid (seven goals, 26 assists) and teammate Leon Draisaitl (11 goals, 22 assists) are tied for the playoff scoring lead with 33 points apiece. Draisaitl leads the Oilers with eight points (four goals, four assists) in the Cup Final. McDavid is right behind with seven points (one goal, six assists).
