Connor McDavid Racks Up Four Points In Losing Effort
Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid opened the 2025 postseason with a big four-point effort, but it was not enough to secure a victory against the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 on Monday night. The Oilers captain registered one goal and three assists in a 6-5 defeat. Edmonton fell behind 4-0 before making the game competitive in the third period. McDavid recorded his sixth postseason four-point game, tying him for seventh on the all-time list. He averaged more than two points per game against the Kings in last year's first-round series, and it seems McDavid might be even more productive this time.

This is the eighth time in his career that McDavid has tallied at least 100 points in a single season. He recently missed time due to a lower-body injury but has tallied 10 helpers over his last four games, which suggests he is fully healthy entering the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
