Edmonton Oilers
Connor McDavid, by conventional standards, had a slow start to the season in October, but has had a great November with 16 points through 9 games, and with still weeks in the month to go. He has 9 goals and 16 assists through 15 career games against the Capitals. It’s a battle of generational stars tonight.
