News about Connor McDavid

Connor McDavid was instrumental in the revival of the NHL All-Star skills competition. He dominated the latest iteration. While proving once more why he is the world's best hockey player, the reigning and three-time MVP took home the $1 million award. He did so as a local hero in the arena where he grew up watching sports to the delight of his hometown crowd. After deciding that the skills competition had become "a little gimmicky, a little out there," McDavid helped the league and union fix it in previous years. With his help, it went back to the basics, and the Edmonton Oilers captain stole the show.

As the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1, it seemed age outlasted flash in a match between the NHL's best rookie and the league's best player.

Connor Bedard, the Chicago Blackhawks' first pick in the NHL Draft, was selected on Wednesday night as expected. The highly praised offensive forward has been compared to actors Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby, as the second No. 2 on the list. This is the team's best pick in history. Bedard joined Patrick Kane, who came in first overall in 2007 and helped build the team's foundation from 2010 to 2015. The franchise is hoping that the 17-year-old can usher in a new one.

The evening's performance took place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, and Music City rolled out some of the evening's most well-known country stars. But it was the NFL's finest that cleaned up, swapping their jerseys and skates for sleek finery. Connor McDavid, the Edmonton Oilers' superstar, was clearly in the spotlight at the event. Erik Karlsson of San Jose also became a three-time award winner, winning the Norris Trophy as the top defenseman.

Many hockey fans were not expecting a second all-Sun Belt Stanley Cup Final in NHL history. Boston was the best regular season squad in the league's history going into the playoffs. They were knocked out by the worst team that made it in. Canada wished that they would win their first Stanley Cup since 1993. Rather, the Jets were quickly dismissed and the Maple Leafs and Oilers' star power was snuffed out.

Evan Bouchard had a goal and an assist, Zach Hyman had three assists, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins added two assists for Edmonton, which bounced back from its first regulation loss since March 11 in Game 1 to a 1-1 tie.
