McDavid joins Wayne Gretzky as the only players in NHL history to win five Ted Lindsay Awards! #LetsGoOilers ๐๐
For @HeavyHockeyNet: Connor McDavid was ranked fourth among the top 50 CHL players in the last 50 years. McDavid won five different OHL awards during his illustrious major junior career with the Erie Otters from 2012 to 2015. https://t.co/UsvGUNSGED
20 years ago today, Ethan Moreau and Raffi Torres scored less than five minutes apart in the second period to lift the #Oilers to a 2-1 come-from-behind road win!
With the victory, Edmonton captured their seventh Clarence S. Campbell Bowl in franchise history! #LetsGoOilers ๐
Connor McDavid has three 30-point playoff years in his career (one of only three players in NHL history to do this).
Nathan MacKinnon has none.
Championships are a team accomplishment.
But when you compare their playoff performances, it's not even close.

The NHL and NHLPA also confirmed an upper limit of $113.5 million in 2027-28 with a lower limit of $83.9 million.
It would have helped a lot to have these annual increases of $9 million a few years ago, but it's still great to have them now.
