MONTREAL -- Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid's 100th NHL game probably won't go down as one of his most memorable, but it still served to show what has made him such an impactful player so early in his career.
The Oilers defeated the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 in a shootout at Bell Centre on Sunday, so McDavid was obviously held off the scoresheet.
But he still had a game-high six shots on goal and drew three penalties by doing what has made him so successful so fast, using his blazing speed to force opponents into making mistakes.
